Clients in the new panel

Five steps to review clients, communicate and record your work. The following sections preserve the previous panel.

01

Find and organise clients in the new list

In the sidebar, open Clients → All clients. The top tabs are Clients, Companies and Import. The list shows each name, next session, last activity and status. Search by name or email and switch between table and cards.

Use All, Session today, With pending items and No contact in 30+ days. Under Filters, combine status, payments, tag, source and company, choose the sort order or load a segment. Save view saves the filter combination as a segment in this browser. If someone is missing, return to All and clear filters and search.

Select several checkboxes to tag clients, email them, open WhatsApp or share a tool. Check the recipients before confirming each flow.

Find and organise clients in the new list
02

View the preview with one click

Click once on a row to open the side preview: initials, name, tags, next session, last contact, session count and pending items. From here, choose Record session, Schedule or Message.

Double-click the row or select Open full profile to open the profile. Record session opens that composer tab directly; Schedule prepares a future appointment. Viewing a profile does not activate that client for working with a tool.

View the preview with one click
03

Work in the three-column profile

Left: identity, tags and four quick facts. Edit Goal, Email, Phone and Stage; changes save when you leave the field. Check the save status. Hide empty fields only hides empty additional details: profession, company, location, time zone, source, notes, custom fields or consent. The four base fields stay visible. Clear the checkbox to complete other details.

The icons let you schedule, start a video call, open Client space and open ⋯ More. More contains Work/activate, Edit, group video call, Client space, Send form, Intake, Onboarding, Survey, Feedback, Protocol, Contract and Invoice, according to your account access. Use ← Clients to return to the list.

Centre: the timeline brings activity together. Filter by All, Sessions, Messages, Notes or Tools. History opens detailed history and Client Log retains the full conversation, attachments and controls.

Right: Actions contains goals and milestones, between-session actions, Pending on their side and Share tool. Select Add action and check it when completed. Tools contains forms, tools and protocols; Appointments shows appointments and series. Documents contains files and links; Billing shows invoices and the Invoice button. On narrower screens, the right column moves below.

The Summary and Forms and tools names in the “Previous panel” chapters are not tabs in this profile. Use Actions for goals and surveys, Tools for responses, Documents for files and links, and Payments for invoicing. Open the AI pre-session brief from the appointment window in Schedule.

Work in the three-column profile
04

Write and record sessions inside the profile

At the bottom of the centre column, choose WhatsApp, Email, Internal note or Record session. Ctrl + Enter sends or saves the active tab.

WhatsApp: write and select Send. You need WhatsApp connected in Settings and a valid international phone number in the profile; if either is missing, a notice appears and nothing is sent. Email: the message is published in the Client Log and the service sends an email notification, plus WhatsApp if configured. The profile needs an email address: this is not a separate email outside the conversation. Internal note: select Save note; it is saved privately, visible only to you, and appears in the timeline without notifying the client.

Record session: check date, duration and tool, describe what you worked on and enter agreements and tasks, one per line. Agreements become between-session actions. Check Do not notify the client before saving. More details opens the full form with your draft to add a title, ratings, an audio link and other details.

Select Save session and check the confirmation, new timeline entry and updated session count. The composer returns to WhatsApp. You can also get here from Record session in the side preview or + New → Record session.

Write and record sessions inside the profile
05

Add a client with the essential details

Select New client in the list or + New → Client. Enter the required Name and optionally Email and Phone. Email is used to send their space and tools; check it carefully. If the name is missing, an error appears beside the field.

Select Add client and wait: the saved profile opens automatically. Complete the goal, fee, company and custom fields afterwards. Fields in the left column save when you leave them; for the photo and the rest of the full form, use ⋯ More → Edit. Cancel closes the form without creating a profile.

Describe the process
19

Add notes and review consent

Use Notes for context you want to retain. Tick the consent box only if the client has already signed the document it refers to. Ticking it does not create a signature request; see Signatures for that workflow.

Prepare a CSV import
26

Review rows before importing

Upload the CSV and review the preview. Correct highlighted rows: they may lack a name or have an invalid email. Email addresses already present or repeated in the file are skipped; this does not update existing records.

Review rows before importing
If a person has no email

You can import their name without an email. Email-based duplicate detection cannot identify that row: check the list before repeating the import.

If a person has no email
27

Confirm and verify the import

Confirm and verify the import
05

Previous panel · Prepare your work

Open the record to view it
29

Select who you will work with

Select Work or the equivalent record control. Check the active client’s name before opening a tool. Assignment identifies the person; how data is saved depends on each tool.

If no client is assigned yet

32

Review At a glance

In Summary, review the next appointment, outstanding items and recent activity. Open the item you need to address. A scheduled appointment and a recorded session describe different moments in the process.

Review At a glance
33

Prepare the next session with AI

On the Next session card in At a glance, select Prepare with AI, whether or not an appointment is booked. This client’s pre-session brief opens. Authorization, results and notices are explained in Schedule → Prepare the session with AI.

Prepare the next session with AI
34

Ask the AI about the client’s process

In the record’s Overview tab, under Ask the AI, click Ask. Type the question, for example “What agreements about delegation have we worked on?”, tick the authorization box and click Ask.

The AI reads only this client’s history: sessions, agreements, actions, goals, forms, completed tools, Client Log and transcript excerpts, plus your context documents. It uses your own AI key, the recaps one.

Ask the AI window.
If you have no AI key

The window asks you to set up your key in Settings → AI. CoachPro does not use a key of its own for this feature.

If you have no AI key
If your account is AppSumo without White Label

Ask the AI and context documents are part of White Label. When you click Ask you see the card to activate it.

If your account is AppSumo without White Label
35

Read the answer and open each source

The answer is short and each fact has a button with its source: Session, Action, Form, Log… Click it to open that record. Documents appear with their name. If the history does not answer the question, the AI says so instead of guessing.

Questions and answers are not saved: they stay in the window while it is open. Always review the answer before using it.

Answer with its sources.
36

Add this client’s documents for the AI

In the same window, under This client’s documents for the AI, click Upload document and choose a PDF, Word (.docx) or TXT file up to 5 MB, for example their job description. Only the text is kept, not the file.

The AI uses it when answering and in Prepare with AI, but never presents it as something the client said. Click Remove so it stops using it.

Client documents for the AI.
06

Previous panel · Record progress

Keep goals, actions and documents.

37

Add a measurable goal

In Goals, select the add control. Enter a title and, where relevant, a unit, initial value, current value, target and target date. Save and check that it appears in the list.

Add a measurable goal
38

Update goal progress

Edit the goal to update its current value or status. The bar requires initial, current and target values, with different initial and target values. Do not interpret a missing bar as no progress. Review before deleting a goal.

Update goal progress
39

Turn on the weekly check-in

When creating or editing a goal, under Weekly check-in select Ask for a value every week. Enter the question for your client and choose the send day and the scale with its minimum and maximum. Select Save goal. With the check-in on, “Where they are today” updates from the history and is not edited by hand.

Turn on the weekly check-in
If the question is missing or the scale is invalid

“Enter a question and a valid scale: maximum must be greater than minimum.” appears. Complete the question, correct the scale and save again.

If the question is missing or the scale is invalid
If “This feature requires White Label” appears

On some accounts the weekly check-in is not available and the goal is not saved with that box ticked. Untick Ask for a value every week to save the goal without a check-in.

If “This feature requires White Label” appears
40

What your client receives

Your client receives a single email per week with all their pending measures, on the first configured day from Monday to Sunday, between 8 am and 9 pm in their time zone. Each question comes with buttons for the scale values; if the scale has decimals or more than eleven values, it comes with one button to log the value. Selecting a button opens a page that asks for confirmation: opening the link saves nothing. They can change the value, add a note and select Confirm value. If they have an active link to their space, the email includes it too, and they can log the value there under Weekly check-in.

The email needs a valid address on the record. It does not ask about measures already logged that week.

What your client receives
When your client confirms

They see “Value saved. Your coach can see it now.”. While the link is valid (14 days) they can correct that week’s value: it replaces the previous one.

When your client confirms
41

Open the weekly history

On the goal’s row, select Weekly history.

Open the weekly history
42

Read the chart and the table

The chart shows records as a solid line, the target as a dashed line and the starting point when the goal has an initial value. Below, the table lists week, value, source (Email, Space or Coach) and note.

Read the chart and the table
43

Export the history to PDF

In the history, select Export history to PDF and wait while “Generating PDF…” is shown. The file downloads named after the goal and includes the chart, the question, the client and the table. It uses your White Label brand (logo, name and colours); without White Label, it shows the name CoachPro Tools. Review the PDF before sharing it: downloading it does not send it to the client. If “Could not generate the PDF. Please try again.” appears, select the button again.

Export the history to PDF
44

Log a value yourself

In the history, enter This week’s value within the scale, add a note if you like and select Save value. If this week already has a record, it is updated. The form only appears when the check-in is on and the goal is Active.

Log a value yourself
Check the record

“Value saved.” appears and the week is listed in the table with source Coach.

If a save error appears
47

Add documents to the process

In Documents, select Upload file. Choose a supported format, such as PDF, DOCX, XLSX or an image, up to 20 MB per file. Wait for it to appear in the list. Documents are shown in the client’s space.

If the file is rejected

Read the message: format, size, available storage or connection. Correct the cause and check the list before uploading again.

If the file is rejected
48

Download or share a document

Use Download to keep a copy or Copy link to share that file. Copy client link opens their space workflow. A copied link has not yet been sent; share it through the channel you agreed on. For a PDF, Sign opens the Signatures workflow.

Download or share a document
49

Check document expiry

Check the days remaining beside each file and download anything you need to retain before it expires. The system highlights files nearing expiry. Delete removes the file: check that you have the copy you need before confirming.

Check document expiry
50

Link records and review series

In Relationships, choose another record and describe the relationship before adding it. Removing a relationship does not delete either person. Review the process’s appointment series and use Calendar to manage their appointments.

Write what was discussed and agreed
54

Add session ratings

Record mood, energy at the start and end, and commitment when you have reviewed them. Leaving a rating unselected is not the same as a low score. You can associate a tool used in the session.

Add session ratings
55

Add an audio link if relevant

The audio field accepts a URL beginning with http:// or https://; it does not upload a recording from your computer. Check that the link opens the file and its permissions allow the intended access.
