Common questions

Quick answers to the things people ask most about this part of NestPoint.

  • What's the difference between an activity and a session?

    An activity is the reusable template in your Library — it holds the name, defaults, and sign-up rules. A session is one scheduled occurrence of that activity on a specific date and time. You build the activity once and put sessions on the calendar as often as you need.

  • How far ahead does a recurring series create sessions?

    A series fills the calendar out to a set horizon rather than forever. As time passes, it doesn't run out quietly — an admin extends it further when needed, so you're always scheduled a healthy stretch ahead.

  • What happens when someone signs up for a full session?

    If the session has a waitlist, they join it in order instead of taking a seat that isn't there. When a spot opens, you can promote them into it from the session's people list.

  • Can I change a session that already has attendance recorded?

    No. Once attendance is marked, a past session is locked so its history stays accurate. You can still cancel it or add a note, but the attendance itself can't be edited.

  • If I archive an activity, do its scheduled sessions disappear?

    No. Archiving an activity just takes it out of the picker when you schedule something new — any sessions you already placed on the calendar stay exactly where they are.
