Coaches

Admin or front: where to work?

Sessions Pro offers two complementary coach interfaces — not two parallel products.

Key point

Simple rule: configure and manage volume from WordPress admin. On mobile between appointments, use the coach pages on your site.

WordPress admin — source of truth

  • Programs and detailed Finances tabs on client profile
  • Pending email confirmation filter
  • Templates / bundles hub
  • Coach permissions

Coach front — field terminal

Pages (created on activation):

Shortcodes let you place the Sessions Pro interface on any page you want.

Simply add one of the shortcodes below in a text block to add it to the page.

Coach home[joolwebsp_coach_dashboard]
My clients[joolwebsp_coach_clients]
Calendar[joolwebsp_calendar]

Client profile: /customer/{id}/

Coach front use cases:

  • View upcoming sessions for the day
  • Open the session modal (create / edit)
  • Quickly change status or payment
  • Send an email (Save and notify)
  • View the calendar on a smartphone

What the front does not currently support:

  • Bundle creation
  • Detailed finances / charts
  • Site configuration

Same business logic

Admin and front use the same services (AJAX, capabilities, emails). A rule applied in admin applies on the front — no duplicate logic.

Login and redirects

  • Coach logged in on the front → coach home (or admin depending on URL)
  • Administrator → can access both
  • Desktop bookmark: admin Dashboard URL
  • Mobile bookmark: coach home or calendar

The coach front does not need to be in the site's public menu (see Menus and navigation).
