Class Booking - Instructor Required
K
Keith Besherse
Right now there can be only one calendar owner but the event doesn't show on their calendar until after the first attendee registers unless they register to attend as a participant.
The instructor's (designated user's) calendar should immediately show all available class slots as at least tentative.

Events in both Communities and in the Core Platform Calendars are a little bit isolated.
They don’t show up on the instructor/presenter/organizer calendar unless that person registers as an attendee.

Class Calendars Shouldn't Show As Unavailable When Synced Calendar Shows Busy.
If someone is going to hold a class, they will need to protect the time on their normal calendar so it is not showing as available for other types of meetings. For instance, if I have a different system simple calendar set up for clients to book 1:1 meetings, I don't want someone booking a time when I am trying to hold a class.
If the system calendar will not show the class time as available when the person's linked calendar has the time blocked off, then this is a flaw in the design of the class calendar. The only reason a class calendar should not show availability is when the maximum number of seats/tickets are registered for.

Class Booking Calendar - Create Events Over Busy Calendar Slots
M
Matt Barbey
If I am holding a class, seminar, workshop, etc., I want to be able to block the time on my personal Google Calendar to prevent other scheduling calendars to book something over that time. Unfortunately, that prevents me from creating a class event at that specific time because it sees it as busy and won't display it as bookable when someone goes to the shared calendar. I would like to be able to create an event and have the option to make it bookable regardless if I have something on my calendar.

Event calendar with multiple different events with specific dates/times automatically block off date and time

In many other calendar systems when you are scheduling a class or event that has a fixed date and time you can easily add multiple different events/classes each with their own unique date and time (or multiple dates and times). Then it would automatically block off that date and time from being booked by other appointments and auto sync it with Google calendar too.
From what I have seen, until someone subscribes for the class with the custom date and time setup so it has one specific date/time, it does not show anything in the calendar and as such there is nothing to sync with Google.
This could cause potential conflicts during the time you start promoting the event/class and the time someone signs up at an attendee, where something may get added on your Synced calendar if you forget you have an event set up for that day (since it isn't on the calendar yet until the first attendee signs up).

Block off time for teacher in calendar

It would be useful when creating a class calendar to block off the teacher's schedule when creating the appt.

that would help with availbility, but would also block availabilty even if no attendees

Abdul-Malik Walker, Yes, It should be a toggle. For some use-cases, the instructor, room and other resources are committed to the time slot even if no one attends. For other situations it might be the case that the instructor doesn't have to show up if there isn't anyone registered.

Or the class should immediately be added to the calendar rather than when someone books
M

Nathan Admin maybe both. Not or :-)

Matt Barbey, yes. A toggle is needed.
