Im thinking that a user whose searching for a class to take wont care about the time as much.. they care about the name of the class.. so.. id consider adding a optional field "add new - timeslot" dialoug that is labled "Name". (screenshot below)

Then add "name" to the table for the reservation if it has been used. Id probably add some text for managers something along the line "if your going to use the "name" field use it for every timeslot you add. or better.. when you add a new "signup sheet" add a checkbox requesting the user if they are going to use Names as well as Times.. if thats checked then make "name" a required field.

I've added the name field to timeslots and an option to the signup sheet to toggle showing of timeslot names.

This does seem to accomplish basically the same goal as having nested signup sheets.

Personally I think this feature (naming each timeslot) fits the technology training use case better than nesting signup sheets does. It just seems much less confusing and more efficient.

Does anyone else see it differently? I sent Michelle an email, but she is out of the office for the week.

I've attached a screenshot of the new way and a screenshot of the old way is coming.
