Guides
Short, practical notes on running a group lightly — from check-in methods to passes, challenges, and handovers.
Setting up a group in E:DA: join types, interest tags, and boards
What each option at group creation decides: choosing between open, approval, and closed join types, interest tags that drive recommendations, built-in boards, optional features, and a three-step checklist.
From invite links to join approvals: growing your group
Invite links that preview in chat apps, usage and expiry limits, screening join requests with batch approval, and how owner, admin, and member roles divide the work.
Creating events: recurring schedules, capacity, and waitlists
Automate weekly scheduling with recurring templates, set capacity with automatic waitlist promotion and sign-up windows, and wire up reminders and calendar sync.
Attendance deep dive: states, QR operations, corrections, and stats
How the four attendance states keep stats fair, running rotating QR codes on site, proxy check-in and corrections, automatic no-show handling, and reading the accumulated records.
Group quizzes: auto-graded prep and review checks
Attach auto-graded multiple-choice and true/false quizzes to events for prep and review, set attempt windows, retries, and passing scores, and reuse questions from banks.
Running passes: issuing, auto-deduction, refunds, and renewals
Credit, period, and unlimited passes compared; the automatic deduction and refund rules tied to sign-ups and check-ins; low-balance and expiry notifications; renewal requests.
How to choose a group attendance app — spreadsheet, chat polls, community apps vs a dedicated app
Four ways to track group attendance compared on five criteria: self check-in, automatic stats, reminders, passes, and what is free. How to pick for study groups, clubs, and fitness groups.
Moving an academy attendance spreadsheet to an app (for small classes)
How to migrate a small academy, class, or studio from a spreadsheet roll to an attendance app: the three things to bring over, recurring events per class, invites and passes, and a first-week checklist — plus when not to move.
Check-in methods compared: self, QR, and proxy
Pros and cons of the three check-in methods E:DA supports, recommended combinations per group type, and how the four attendance states tie into pass deduction.
Study group attendance without counting chat replies
How to move study attendance to self check-in, motivate with challenges and streaks, and keep notices and polls in one feed.
Automating class passes for academies and studios
Issue passes, deduct on booking or check-in, restore on cancellation or absence — plus QR, self, and proxy check-in and automatic absence notices.
Using challenges and leagues to lift fitness group participation
Connect attendance to workout logs, set period × goal challenges, and run small-pod leagues that build consistency without rank anxiety.
Club handovers that keep the records
Make the club a single group where attendance, notices, photos, and polls accumulate — with approval-based invites, challenges, and a handover checklist.
