Activities & scheduling
Create your activities, organize the calendar, assign guides and resources, and manage availability.
Activities are the foundation of Activiteez: everything else in the product — bookings, customers, point of sale, invoicing — builds on what you have defined and scheduled. Once your offerings are modeled, the calendar becomes the center of your day: you see what is happening, when, and with whom, and you organize the team and resources there.
Activities and activity templates
An activity is a concrete offering in your calendar: a class, a guided outing, a rental, a course… with its times, prices, booking rules, assigned instructors or guides, etc. It is the unit around which registrations and operations revolve.
An activity template is a reusable model: you save a recurring offering’s settings once (duration, price, options, default resources), then place it on the calendar as often as needed — by drag-and-drop — without re-entering everything. Ideal for slots that come back every week or every season.
Beyond simple activities, you can build packages, schedule recurring activities, and handle advanced cases (variable duration, creation at booking time…): it all starts from this activity → calendar base.
Activities are not limited to dated slots on the calendar. They also let you offer and manage other commercial products tied to your catalog:
- Gift vouchers: an activity without a date, sold online (or at the counter), that the recipient schedules later on a real slot;
- Membership cards: plans (sessions, access, validity) crediting the customer’s account and debited at each registration or point-of-sale transaction;
- Top-up cards: a reloadable prepaid balance, consumed through bookings or purchases, with remaining balance tracked.
These products share the same logic as your scheduled offerings: they rely on activities configured in Activiteez and meet the calendar or booking flow when the customer uses their entitlement.
The calendar: views and display modes
The Schedule menu groups every way to read and organize your calendar. The calendar offers several time views — day, week, or month (plus a list view when needed) — to move from one day’s detail to a period overview.
You can also change the display angle:
- by resources (instructors, guides, rented equipment): one row or column per person or piece of gear, to see who is busy and where to place the next slot;
- by activity category: to group offerings by family (classes, rentals, courses…) and manage one type of offer at a glance.
Filters, drag-and-drop, rotations, and availability management complete these views so you can adjust slots, assignments, and load without leaving the calendar.

An activity template is a reusable activity model in your calendar. It suits offerings that come back often (weekly classes, standard outings, recurring rentals…): you define duration, price, options, and default resources once, then place it on the schedule as often as needed without re-entering everything.
Create a template from an existing activity
- Open Schedule and select a configured activity.
- Click the activity to open it.
- Use the arrow to the right of Edit, then choose Add to activity templates (or Activity template, depending on the screen).
The activity is duplicated and appears in the activity templates toolbar. You can then drag and drop it to different places on your calendar.
For other creation methods (Activity templates menu, Manage on the toolbar), see the guide Create an activity template.
