This is the manual on how to fill out the setup of a course.
Short video introduction to the right, details below.
This will be the title that the customer sees when browsing for training or events. (Mandatory)
[Language] is what Language the Trainer will speak. The training title language gives the participant information about the slide deck language.
Example
[English] Agile People Fundamentals + HR (ICP-AHR) [Online] = This mean a English speaking Trainer and English slide decks
[Français] Agile People Fundamentals + HR (ICP-AHR) [Online] = This mean a French speaking Trainer and English slide decks
[Français] Fondamentaux Agile People + Agilité en RH (ICP-AHR) [En ligne] = This mean a French speaking Trainer and French slide decks
If you would like to have special links, you add them here.
If you add an “Event Link”, that will link directly to another link/site. This is used mainly when you have information about the training/event on another site. You do not need to add more than the mandatory. The customer will not see any details about the course.
If you add a “Join here” link, then that link will override the “register” button. If you have another payment site, add this in the link field and the word “Book course”/”Register now”, etc. in the more info field.
Main description. Here is where you add all your “text” and other nice-looking stuff for the customer to read. (Mandatory)
We think you recognise most of the tools you can use.
In addition, we added your personal media library space, “Add Media,” for your images and other files so that you can easily use them again.
When you insert an image (preferably an image not too big (KB) ), you probably need to adjust where to put this. Click on the image and use the tools that pop up. Image to the left of the text, between texts centred, to the right and the left between texts.
You can copy and paste from other tools like Word or Workshop Butler
If you need to make your pictures smaller, several online tools exist. We often use https://picresize.com/
An excellent place to find images for courses is “Marketing Resources”, that you find under the menu “My Transactions”
If you like to add a Popup with Course Information
This will make your customer stay on the same page and not need to read about the course “somewhere” on the site.
Also, you do not need to add this information to your course description, which becomes shorter and easier to read.
Write a sentence that describes the information. E.g. “Please read the details of the Agile People – Development course by clicking this row.”
To make this work: Select the sentence (or the part you like them to click on), then click on the “chain-symbol” in the toolbox on top, and add the #popup that corresponds to your course (including the #(hashtag), e.g. #BAF-popup. Click Apply.
Courses:
#BAF-popup (BAF)
#Leadership-popup (Leadership)
#HR-popup (HR)
#PDV-popup (Development)
#Finance-popup (Finance)
Programs:
#PAgilityInLeadership-popup
#PAgilePeopleCoach-popup
#PAgilityinHRTrack-popup
#PAgilePeopleLeadershipCohort-popup

Booking Limit
Add the number of “seats” you have available.
Ticket
Here you can add “Tickets”. Different Tickets depend on things like part of the course and how many days there are to the event.
Add at least one ticket for the “Booking” solution to work with payments on the Agile People site.
These Tickets and the prices can replace the “Cost” of the event. Then you need to tick the box “Show the minimum price based on tickets.” in the “Cost” setting.
If you like to have your own solution for payments (e.g. Eventbrite), then use links as you can read more about further up on this page.
NB! You delete that ticket if you hit the “X” within the “red” box.
Price Per Date
Typical use for Early bird etc.. if you do not use your own payment solutions like “Eventbrite”, etc.
The “same” function as “Price Per Date” can also be done by adding several tickets with different “Stop selling ticket” number of days before the event start.
Booking form
Inherit from global options = email and Name.
Uncheck the tick box if you like to have other options.
The booking form only show if there is tickets.
Organizer Payment Credentials
If you have a Stripe account (https://stripe.com/), add your Secret Key and Publishable Key here and use the Agile People website as your payment gateway.
The pay will end up in your account.
Then you need to set up Tickets.
Or the alternative is to set up your payment solution with, e.g. Eventbrite.
SEO Schema
Let this be “Schedule” for best information to the search engines. If you want to cancel or pospone you might consider change this when that is a fact.
