Activity categories give activities a name and color so staff can organize them and customers can recognize them in public calendars.
Use names such as Pilates, Yoga, Barre, Personal Training, or Workshop when they match the way your business works.
Open categories#
Go to Admin > Settings > Offerings > Categories. Open Categories to manage public labels. Open Tags on the same page for labels that only your team sees.
Select Add category, then enter a name, choose a color, and choose its activities. Select Create to save it.
What categories affect#
Categories help with:
- Naming and organizing activities
- Choosing a category when creating a new activity
- Scanning the timetable by color
- Helping customers find activities by category in public calendars where category filters are shown
Use clear names that staff and customers understand.
Category colors#
Choose a color from the palette or enter a custom color when you create or edit a category. Colors help people scan the timetable quickly.
Keep the color system simple. If every category uses a similar color, the calendar becomes harder to read.
Activities#
Activities say what customers come to do at your business, such as Yoga, Pilates or Boxing. They record what each category, class and service is. You choose them from a list Naayya provides.
Choose a category's activities#
When you add or edit a category, the Activities section lists the shared activities. Use Search activities to find one, and tick the ones that the category's classes and services are.
Some categories are not activities, such as Workshop or Kids. Leave every activity unticked for those. For an existing category nobody has answered yet, select It is not an activity to record that.
Each category row shows its activities, Not an activity, or Activities not chosen yet.
Classes and services take the category's activities#
A class or service takes its category's activities by default. You can set its own instead:
- Class: On the class page, find the Activities row below Category.
- Service: On the service page in Admin > Services, find the Activities row under Details & media.
Edit the row and choose one option:
- Use the category's activities: The class or service follows the category, including later changes to it.
- Choose for this class or Choose for this service: Tick its own activities. Leave every activity unticked if it is not an activity.
Before deleting or changing a category#
Categories are archived rather than deleted. Before selecting Archive, check whether active activities use the category. Existing activities keep their category, but the archived category does not appear for new selections. Select Restore to make it available again.
