Start Training

This tutorial will take you through the essentials to the Console, Profiles, and Scheduling. By the end you will be ready to start scheduling your clients!

What's Needed

To get started, you need to have a RecHelper.com account and be a staff member of a team.

Check out This Guide for more information on how to join a team.

What is the Console

The Console is the base of operations for your team, and the primary place you will be working within RecHelper. The Console is only accessible to active staff members of your team.

To get started click on the cloud icon underneath your team's name.

Link to team's Console

When you are brought the the Console you will notice the side navigation. This is called the Console Navigation, and you will be using it to move around your Console. Highlighting Console navigation

Add your profile availability

The first thing we want to do is add our availability.

  1. On the Console Navigation click the link that says Profile to go to your Team Profile. Profile link
  • You can think of this profile as your "Membership" to this team, and your way of interacting with the team.

  • Your status might say Staff instead of Superuser if you joined another team.

  1. Click Availability on your profile navigation. Profile Navigation

  2. Click+Hold+Drag for the times you are generally available each week Adding availability to profile

This will help make sure when new client's join your team can pair the client's requested time with a similar trainer.

  1. Save it! Save availability button

Add your clients

Next let's add some of our clints.

  1. Navigate to the clients directory on Console Navigation Link for selecting client directory

  2. Use the + button to open a slide-over and add your client's name and email Plus button for creating a client

  3. After you enter info you will be brought to the new Team Profile for your client. Let's add a note and maybe an attachment to their profile. Profile notes

    Optional: You can "Invite User" to allow the client to access their Client Portal. Client's do not have access to the Console, and cannot modify any information.

    For more information on the client portal check out Client Portal Guide

    or if you need more help with clients, contact support@rechelper.com

  4. On your client's new profile, use the plus icon next to Trainers Profile client list

  5. Select yourself from the list Popover for selecting a trainer

You did it! You are now paired with your client. You can check this by going to your profile and seeing your client under Clients.
