Programs are labels used to organize classes into groups. Each class in iClassPro is part of a program (Gymnastics, Cheer, Swim, Dance, etc.) To save time, set up all programs before creating classes. When creating a classes, attach each one to a program.

There are a few things that should be considered when setting up programs. All charges in iClassPro can be assigned a program. By default, when you charge someone tuition for a class, that tuition charge is attached to the program of that class. Most financial reports can be sorted by program to see each charge or payment or the total charges and payments for each program.  Another thing you will want to consider when setting up your programs in iClassPro is that you can perform list sorts by Program. For instance, on the classes page you can view classes only for a particular program. When enrolling someone, you can find a class quickly by selecting the
program. There are many more places where you can use the program to sort or filter results (Email blast, reports, etc.).

Lastly and most importantly, it should be considered how those programs affect customers. If the online registration or the customer portal features are being used, the programs will be viewable from the customer portal. A customer portal user can see the list of programs and sort classes by program. If the programs are configured correctly, a user can quickly find the class they are looking for.
