Frequently Asked Questions

Q.  How do I hide certain classes on my website, Online Registration form, and the Parent Portal?

A.  You can hide classes by changing these settings on the Summary tab of the Class record to No:

  • Display on Website
  • Allow Online Registration
  • Allow Portal Enrollment

The most efficient way to hide a group of classes is by using Edit All Classes from the Classes menu. Use the Search Criteria to select only those classes that you wish to hide, for example, a specific session of classes or all classes that have a specific Category 1 value.

After submitting your criteria selections click Show All to display all pages and then use the Global Change (yellow) area to change the Display on Website, Allow Online Registration, and Allow Portal Enrollment settings to No. Remember to Save Changes.
