Siriusware Lesson Modifier Mapping

Overview

Modifiers in Siriusware allow for detailed customization of products, such as lesson types, durations, start times, additional guests for private lessons, and special instructions. These modifiers must be correctly mapped to ensure that the data flows seamlessly into flaik’s database, enabling accurate tracking and management of lessons.

Assigning Modifiers to Specific Categories

While Siriusware doesn't have a direct way to specify categories (such as lesson time, duration, or level) during the initial creation of a modifier, you can achieve this by setting up modifiers with distinct descriptions or labels and associating them with parent items in a way that categorizes them effectively.

Here's a general process you can follow:

1. Create Unique Modifiers: When creating modifiers, ensure that the modifier name or description clearly reflects its category. For example:

   • Start Time: "9am", "10am" etc (privates only)

   • Duration: "30 mins", "1 Hour", "2 Hours" etc (privates only)

   • Level: "Beginner," "Intermediate," "Advanced" (applicable to private and group lessons)

   This will help differentiate the modifiers and allow users to select based on the specific category they are working with.

2. Use the 'Parent-Child' Structure:

   • Assign modifiers as "child" items to the appropriate "parent" items. For example, if you have a parent item called "Ski Lesson," you can attach different lesson times, durations, or levels as modifiers.

   • In your Siriusware item configuration screen, you should have an option to assign the created modifier items to their parent item by linking them in the "Modifiers" tab.

3. Using Requirements for Enforcement:

   • You can set requirements for modifiers to ensure that certain selections are made. For example, you can configure it so that a lesson time and level must be chosen before checkout.

   • This can be done in the "Item Requires" section when setting up your modifiers. You can specify which parent item must be present for a specific modifier to be selectable or enforce mandatory modifier selections.
