Creating different time slot durations for the same teacher

Scenario: A teacher needs different slot durations for different classes — e.g., 15-minute slots for First Grade, 30-minute slots for Kindergarten. Since she only appears once in the Class Editor, both classes are currently forced to share one slot duration.

Solution: List the teacher resource twice in the Class Editor — once per duration needed — so each listing can have its own slot duration in the Slot Editor.

Step 1: Add the teacher a second time

1. Go to the Class Editor page.
2. Click Add Teacher. This opens the Select Person dialog.
3. Locate and select the teacher's name, then click Select.

The teacher's name will now appear twice in the Class Editor.

The teacher contact account will remain the same for each of the resources.

Step 2: Move one class to the second listing

1. Select the second listing of the teacher's name.
2. Select her Kindergarten class, then click Move Class.
3. Select the first listing of the teacher's name as the destination.

The Kindergarten class is now under the first listing.

Step 3: Rename each listing for clarity

To easily tell the listings apart when creating slots, edit each name — for example:

• First listing: Sue Smith - Kindergarten
• Second listing: Sue Smith - First Grade

Step 4: Create separate slot durations

1. Go to the Slot Editor page.
2. You'll see both listings. Create slots with the appropriate duration for each — e.g., 30 minutes for Kindergarten, 15 minutes for First Grade.

Since both listings are tied to the same underlying contact, the system prevents double-booking — booking a slot on one listing automatically blocks the corresponding time on the other.
