What is a batch

A batch is the container that defines your class setup—students, schedule, venue, and the sessions that get created from it.

A batch is the foundation of how classes run in Lynk.

It acts as a central container that defines everything about a class — from who attends, when it happens, where it takes place, and how sessions are managed.

Instead of setting up the same details again and again for every class, you create a batch once — and Lynk handles the rest.

Why Batches Matter

When you manage multiple students, schedules, and sessions, things can quickly become fragmented.

Batches help you:

  • Keep students organized

  • Maintain consistent schedules

  • Track progress in one place

  • Avoid manual coordination for every session

Every session, attendance record, coach note, and progress report flows from a batch.

What a Batch Contains

From the batch screen, you can clearly see all the core details of a class setup.

Each batch defines:

  • Batch Name

    (Example: Arts for Kids)

  • Class Type

    In-person or Online

  • Duration

    Length of each session (e.g., 1 hour)

  • Frequency

    How often sessions occur (e.g., 2 times per week)

  • Schedule

    Days and time slots (e.g., Tuesday & Thursday at 4 PM)

  • Venue

    Physical location or online meeting context

This ensures every session created under the batch follows the same structure.


Students Inside a Batch

A batch holds the group of students attending that class.

From the batch screen, you can:

  • View total students enrolled

  • Access individual student details

  • Track attendance and participation

  • See progress reports linked to that batch

This makes batch-wise student management simple and transparent.


Sessions Are Created From Batches

Sessions don’t exist independently — they are always created inside a batch.

From the batch screen, you can:

  • Create new sessions

  • View all past and upcoming sessions

  • Edit session details if needed

  • Record attendance for each session

This ensures every session remains tied to the correct class, students, and schedule.


Coach Notes & Progress Reports

Each batch acts as a hub for learning documentation.

You can:

  • Record coach notes for sessions

  • View past notes anytime

  • Generate progress reports based on sessions and notes

  • Share reports with parents or learners

Because everything is batch-linked, insights remain structured and easy to review.


Insights at the Batch Level

Lynk also shows batch-level insights, generated from:

  • Session data

  • Attendance patterns

  • Coach notes

These insights help you understand:

  • How the batch is progressing overall

  • Areas where students may need more focus

  • Engagement trends across sessions


In Summary

A batch is not just a class name —

it’s the central structure that keeps your coaching organized.

With batches, you can:

  • Define your class once

  • Run consistent sessions

  • Track students and progress effortlessly

  • Manage everything from a single screen

If you’re running recurring classes, batches are where everything begins in Lynk.
