Group Bookings for Classes

A group booking allows all teachers of a shared class to be booked in one go. This can be useful in various circumstances, for example:

Shared Class Teachers will both attend the same appointments
Primary schools often have classes where a main and support teacher are present, or there is simply more than one teacher teaching a class.
Secondary schools may need their science teachers (Biology, Physics, Chemistry) available to speak to parents at the same time under the general heading of "Science".
Senior leadership appointments may require the Head and Deputy Head to speak to a parent at the same time.

Note: to use the feature, you must:

Already have an evening set up.
Have classes imported onto the system. It won't work if you only use teacher departments to organise your evening.
The class you wish to set it up for must be marked as shared. When you import your classes to your system either via synchronisation with a school management system, or via a CSV import, it recognises which classes are shared.
Have all the teachers available at the times you want parents to be able to book. If any one of the shared teachers is not available (due to a break, starting earlier or later than the default times for the evening, or for any other reason) then no appointment can be booked for that class at that time.

In your Parents' Evening System admin panel, go to Evenings > Go To Evening > Configure Evenings > Class Teachers.

Find a shared class in the list (it will have a Yes in the Shared Class column) then click the change button and select Change Teacher(s) and then Multiple Teachers > An Appointment with all teachers at the same time from the options available.
Click Save at the bottom of the page.
When your parents (or you, as an admin) make bookings they will see a column for that class with both teachers named on it.
