Foreword

All the features you could do before are still available. Some are in the same place, while others have been relocated to make them more user-friendly. Several requested elements have been added. These are marked with a 🌟.

Program display

A new column has been added. It's called “Keywords”.

You can now enter keywords and find matching programs using the search bar.


Step 1 — Create your program

To quickly create a new program, click on the + to the right of the Exercises tab, then fill in the necessary fields ⇾ program name, customer, start date, duration, etc.


All three steps in one place

You'll find the equivalent of the information (1), design (2) and confirmation (3) stages on the same page.

  • Section 1: Enter basic program information:

    • Duration,

    • Recipient,

💡 This is also where you can enter keywords.

  • Section 2: Sessions:

    • Created sessions will be displayed here.

    • Click on the calendar icon to the right of the session to assign it weekdays.

  • Section 3: Publish your plan.

This is where you can publish, print/download and e-mail your plan.


Designing a session

Several options are available:

  • Copy the attributes of the selected exercise.

  1. Or select all desired drills and click on “Paste” in the top menu.

  2. Use the “Paste” button to transfer them to the selected exercise.
