Add students to a batch so they’re enrolled correctly with sessions, attendance, and pricing plans.

Adding students to a batch in Lynk ensures they are automatically connected to:

  • Scheduled sessions

  • Attendance tracking

  • Pricing plans

  • Payment cycles

  • Progress and participation records

Lynk offers multiple ways to add students depending on whether you’re creating new students, enrolling existing ones, or managing students directly from a batch.


Why Adding Students to a Batch Matters

When a student is enrolled in a batch:

  • They appear automatically in upcoming sessions

  • Attendance is tracked instantly

  • Their pricing plan and billing cycle are linked

  • Session usage is monitored

  • Batch-specific reports stay accurate

Without enrollment, a student won’t be connected to that batch’s schedule or payment structure.


Ways to Add Students to a Batch

Lynk supports three primary enrollment flows:

  1. Standard Flow (General student creation)

  2. Adding students to an existing batch

  3. Adding students to a new or empty batch


1. Standard Flow: Add Student First, Assign Batch During Creation

This method is useful when onboarding new students into your system.


How It Works

  • Go to Manage tab

  • Click on Add Students

  • Choose:

    • Add manually

    • Bulk import

    • Import from contacts

During student creation, you can:

  • Assign the student to a batch immediately

  • Select a pricing plan

  • Configure enrollment details

  • Or save the student first and enroll later


When to Use This

  • Building your student database

  • Bulk onboarding

  • Adding brand-new students


2. Add Students to an Existing Batch

This is one of the fastest ways to enroll students into a specific batch.


How It Works

  1. Go to the Batches

  2. Click the Batch card

  3. Open the Students

You’ll see two options:

  • + Add New

  • + Select from List

  2. Choose the pricing plan

  3. Click Enroll

Steps

  2. Enter the student’s details:

Important: Pricing Plan Required

Before enrolling, ensure that the batch already has a pricing plan attached.

You cannot add a student to a batch without selecting a pricing plan.

After saving, configure:

  • Start date

  • Cycle end date (for duration-based plans) or session count (for session-based plans)

  3. Select the Pricing Plan

  4. Configure enrollment details:

  5. Click Enroll Student


Key Things to Remember

  • A student can be enrolled in multiple batches

  • Pricing plan selection is mandatory during enrollment

  • Enrollment details vary based on duration or session plans

  • Removing a student from a batch does not remove their profile.
