;How events work
 
The general logic of event is creating Service + Provider related to it with dates selected in the settings of event as special days of provider. Event creates service+provider related to it with identical name. In order to preserve proper functioning of event on the dates needed, you should not delete provider with identical name related to event (but you can easily change his/her name) and should not disconnect provider from event.  ''For example, when you created event "Music Festival, open 3-9 April, 10am-18pm, services available each hour. 1 hour can be booked by 3 people." it is service Music Festival with duration 1 hour + provider Music Festival, who works 3-9 April, 10am-18pm and can serve 3 people at a time.''<br/>

When you use Classes custom feature the event creates service+provider related to it with identical name. In order to preserve proper functioning of the event on the dates needed, you should not delete provider with identical name related to event (but you can easily change his/her name) and should not disconnect provider from the event.
