Event Types
An Event is a type of appointment, like a Club Tour, Orientation, PT Session, etc. Club Administrators have the ability to edit the names of certain appointments and also add additional appointment types. For example, if you use InTouch to book Swim Lessons, you can add Swim Lessons as a new Event Type and even set up a text message appointment alert specific to Swim Lessons.
Event types have several options:
- Add a your own New Event Type (appointment)
- Choose which calendars your events appear for i.e. Calendar, Membership Lead Calendar, Member Calendar, PT Lead Calendar.
- Set which order events appear in your dropdown list (using the Sort Order)
- Rename default InTouch system events with your own names (Ie: rename "Orientation" to "Intro to Exercise")
- Set how long a staff person can schedule that appointment type for as well as select a default duration. Available options are in 15-minute increments between 15 minutes and 3 hours.
- Color code different appointment types so when Staff view their calendars they can see, at a glance, the different types of appointments they have scheduled throughout the day.

To change available durations, add a check mark beside each length of time that is to be allowed by clicking the box to the left of the time.
