Lesson and schedule fields — Soniq Studio Support

Soniq Studio holds a lesson in two parts:

The schedule: the plan for a lesson, for example “Esther, Thursdays at 6:30pm, every week”.
The lesson: one dated lesson that comes from the schedule. A lesson holds what happened on that date, such as attendance or an invoice.

Why timetables are forgiving explains why the two parts are separate.

Schedule fields

These fields appear in the Create Event panel and the Editing dialog.

These details belong to one dated lesson. They appear in the Selected Event panel when you click a lesson.

Field	Values	Description
Date and time	For example “23 Oct at 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM”	When this lesson takes place. A moved lesson keeps a link to its original date in the schedule.

Lesson state	Move by dragging	Edit with the pencil icon	Cancel
Not invoiced	Yes	Yes	Yes. The lesson is removed.
Invoiced	Yes. The lesson keeps its invoice line.	No. The pencil icon is not shown.	Yes. Soniq Studio asks What happens to the money?: No adjustment, Owe a makeup lesson or Refund the money.

Refund the money is available only after the invoice is paid.

When you move, edit or cancel a lesson that repeats, the change has one of two scopes.

Choice	Effect
This event	Changes only the chosen lesson.
This and future events	Changes the chosen lesson and every lesson after it. Earlier lessons stay as they are.

Editing with the pencil icon always uses This and future events. The dialog shows “This will change all events from” and the date.
