Creating, editing, and deleting lessons is a central task in managing your tennis club. Plugin.ch offers an intuitive interface to manage the entire lifecycle of your lessons: creation with rate configuration, editing of existing settings, and gradual or permanent deletion. Discover how to optimize the management of your teaching offerings.

From the main menu, click LESSONS, then select MANAGE LESSONS. This gives you access to the centralized management interface for all your lessons.

Menu for accessing lesson management

On the lesson management page, click the Add a lessonbutton. The creation form will appear, letting you configure all the settings for your new lesson.

Management interface with the add lesson button

The form offers several sections. Start with the basic information: lesson name, lesson type (mini-tennis, youth, adults, competition, etc.).

Main lesson creation form

Several settings play a crucial role in configuring your lesson. Here are the most important ones:

The pricing section is fundamental. The important fields are:

Each lesson must be linked to a billing item created beforehand in your system. This item determines how the lesson will appear on invoices. Start typing the first 2 or 3 letters of the item's name to find it quickly in the list.

Item selection interface with autocomplete

Plugin.ch lets you ask additional questions during online registration. For example: "Have you already played tennis?", "What is your estimated level?", or "Do you need a loaner racket?". These questions enrich your understanding of members. This section is entirely optional.

Once all settings have been entered correctly, click the Add a lesson button at the bottom of the form. Your new lesson is now saved in the system.

Your lessons now appear in the management list

Tip: Before creating your lessons, make sure all the necessary billing items have been created in your system. This saves you from going back and forth between the two sections and speeds up the process. Create the items first, then the lessons.

In the lesson management list, find the lesson you want to edit. You will see several action icons next to each lesson: the pencil icon (to edit), the bookings icon, and the trash icon (to delete).

Each lesson offers several management options

Click the pencil (edit) corresponding to the lesson you want to change. The edit form opens, showing all the lesson's current settings.

Click the pencil to access the edit form

Change the elements you want to update: schedule, rates, number of lessons, billing item, or any other information. You can change almost all settings without limitation.

Edit form with all settings accessible

Continue editing the pricing and items sections

Once your changes are made, click the Edit lesson button at the bottom of the form. The changes are immediately applied and visible in your lesson list.

In your lesson list, click the lesson containing the options to disable or delete. Then click the pencil icon to open the edit form.

Click the lesson to access its settings

To disable an option without permanently deleting the lesson, click the checkmark symbol (✓) next to that option. The symbol becomes a cross (✕), indicating that the option is disabled. Then click Edit lesson to save.

To permanently delete an option (not just disable it), completely clear all its fields in the form. Make sure all details (schedule, price, etc.) are removed. Then click Edit lesson.

Clear the fields to completely delete an option

Warning: Completely deleting an option also deletes all associated bookings and data. Prefer disabling (✕ symbol) to archive an option without data loss. Use complete deletion only for corrections or errors.

In your lesson management list, identify the lesson you want to permanently delete. Find thetrash icon (🗑️) on the right of the lesson's row.

The trash icon allows permanent deletion

Click the lesson's trash icon. A confirmation message will appear asking if you are sure you want to delete this lesson.

Click the trash icon to access deletion

A confirmation message appears: "Are you sure you want to delete this lesson?". Click OK to confirm the permanent deletion. The lesson and all its data will be immediately deleted.

Warning: Deleting a lesson is irreversible. You will lose all associated data: bookings, registrations, pricing. Before deleting a lesson, make sure to back up any important information. Prefer disabling options if you want to keep a history.

Best practices for lesson management

• Test first : Create a test lesson before setting up your real lessons to familiarize yourself with the interface.
• Organize by category : Use clear, consistent names (e.g. "Mini-Tennis 2024", "Intermediate Adults Season 2024").
• Check the items : Make sure each lesson is linked to the correct billing item.
• Test the pricing : Check that price calculations are correct by creating a test lesson with different options.
• Document your settings : Keep a record of your configurations (number of lessons, rates) for year-to-year consistency.
• Back up before deleting : Export your lesson data before permanent deletion if you might need the history.
