Activity Groupings

The Activity Groupings command allows you to create the groups used when arraying the activities available on the (new) Web Booking Engine. Groupings are utilized to quickly filter selections, and are a way of organizing your activities to make the list to choose from easier to navigate quickly. Activity Groupings are selected in the Activity Types section of the Schedule Types screen to help classify the type of activities available there. (Schedule Types, or Activity Categories, are defined as the CATEGORIES your Property offers activities in, such as your Spa. A Schedule Type is the name of the assemblage of the associated activity tasks and the facilities you provide those activities in).

The Activity Groupings command opens the Activity Groupings screen, which allows you to configure your activity groupings. You may edit the configuration to suit your Property at any time if you have the appropriate access/authorization. This configuration is part of the Property and System Configuration area of Skyware Systems, using the Activities Configuration sub-system. If your Property does not currently have our Spa & Activities Module and you are interested in adding it, please contact us at  Sales@SkywareSystems.com.
