Integrated scheduling and appointments

It would be great if the class calendar and appointment calendar were more integrated. Each could reflect the exact room it is booked for visually from left to right (room 1, 2 ,3) and then it would prohibit anyone from booking a private lesson during a scheduled class. Right now this is not possible and makes accidental double booking of a room very possible. Also the option to split a private for duo/trio or semi-private and the charge can be split evenly, also this way it will show up on both student's portal calendar. Additionally we like to schedule out recurring privates for solos that aren't necessarily every week. So more customization here, example booking a recurring private every other week or every 4 weeks.


Pain point to solve:

  • Lack of integration between class calendar and appointment calendar

  • Risk of accidental double booking

  • Limited options for scheduling and splitting private lessons

Solution:

  • Integrate class and appointment calendars

  • Implement visual representation of room bookings

  • Add booking restrictions to prevent conflicts

  • Enhance private lesson scheduling options

  • Introduce flexible recurring appointment settings

Impact for users:

  • Reduced risk of double bookings

  • Improved organization and clarity in scheduling

  • More efficient management of private lessons

  • Enhanced flexibility for recurring appointments

  • Better visibility of schedules for both staff and students

    This is very frustrating that the studio availability calendar is not visible when teachers want to book a private and that the system would allow a double booking. This makes the appointments feature almost unusable and we are forced to use 3rd party software (skeda) to manage our studio space and then we must input all the data into DSP for billing then use a whole host of spreadsheets to track teacher hours sheesh! Talk about admin time drain. It seems so easy to fix this by making the appointments calendar visible when a teacher books a private and to not allow double bookings. Please please please fix this, it is one of the big reasons we switched studio software as we were told by sales that DSP made private lessons and bookings very easy and unfortunately it does not.

    Agree! To also prohibit anyone from booking a private lesson if that teacher is teaching another class at the same time.

    we’d love this! There is a report to see classes by studio, but appointments/private bookings should be assigned a room too and show up there.

    Hello DSP,

    Can we please make this happen! It would be amazing to have a calendar with columns showing the studio by column, the time by row and then what is going on in that studio, be it a class or a private all in one clear shot. I know that there studios that hesitate on using your product because it lacks this feature. We need this.

    Thank you

Allow appointment booking to read class calendar

As the software stands, a parent could book a private lesson when a class is scheduled in the studio, as it does not register that the studio is booked. I had an "extra class date" scheduled on a Sunday, and it allowed a parent to book an appointm...
