Learn how to create/edit an Event in iClassPro and how they are used to configure your Skill Tree.
What Is a Skill Tree?
A Skill Tree is a visual representation of your curriculum. Your Skill Tree is constructed in a hierarchy, where one layer nests below the previous one:
These skill tree layers allow you to customize your skill tree to your class needs. As a student progresses in their skills, they will work their way up the skill tree until the discipline has been mastered:
- Individual SKILLS are achieved until an EVENT is completed.
- Individual EVENTS are completed to finish a LEVEL.
- Individual LEVELS are finished to master a DISCIPLINE.
What is an Event?
Using Events as a part of your skill tree is optional. They are often used as locations, or areas, within a facility.
Some examples of Events for gymnastics could be: Bars, Beam, Floor, and Vault.
Some examples of Events in swimming could be: Dog Paddle, Breast Stroke, and 50m Race.
If your industry does not use Events, simply deselect it when creating a Level. For example, Gymnastics facilities would typically utilize Events, while Swim facilities usually do not.
Creating a New Event
To create a new Event:
- Navigate to SETTINGS>SKILLS.
- Expand the Skill Level to which you wish to attach an Event and click the “Add an Event” button.
- This will launch the “Create a New Event” panel.
- Enter the “Event Name.” This name must be unique.
- (Optional) Enter an “Event Description.”
- Click SAVE EVENT to create your new Event.
After saving, you will be able to add media files to the Event.
(optional) Adding Media to Events - Images
If you wish, you can upload images related to the Event. To do this, click on the MEDIA tab.
Scroll down to the IMAGES section. Click BROWSE FILES to locate images on your computer to upload or simply drag-and-drop them into the designated area.
(optional) Adding Media to Events - Video
You can also embed a video that demonstrates the Event being evaluated if you desire. To do this, click on the MEDIA tab.
Scroll down to the VIDEOS section and enter the URL of the video you wish to link.

Editing/Removing an Event
To edit an Event, click on the Event name and make any changes needed. Once you have made your changes, click “Update Event” to save your changes. It is important to note that any changes made to the Event will be reflected anywhere it appears within a skill tree.
To delete an Event, click on the Event name and click the red “Delete Event” button. Deleting an Event will completely remove the Event. However, it will not delete individual skills or skill evaluation records.
