&lt;p&gt;The dashboard provides an overview of key information relevant to the employee logged in/ selected:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Notifications&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Checklists with open actions&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Upcoming sessions&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each member can be linked to an employee. The dashboard only shows notifications and checklists related to members that are linked to the employee logged in. In other words; an employee only sees &amp;lsquo;his/ her own members&amp;rsquo;. This way managing the engagement of your members can be split across employees.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Member overview</title><link>https://sessy.app/en/docs/usage-instructions/member-overview/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://sessy.app/en/docs/usage-instructions/member-overview/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="search-member"&gt;Search member&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Open the member overview by searching for a member. The member search bar is available on all screens (if you are on a laptop/ desktop screen).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Click on the menu button (&amp;ldquo;hamburger&amp;rdquo; icon on top left of the screen)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Click on &amp;ldquo;Members&amp;rdquo;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Search for the member name&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The top of the member overview page show the contact details of the member. Note that these details are maintained by the member.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Weekly schedule</title><link>https://sessy.app/en/docs/usage-instructions/weekly-schedule/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://sessy.app/en/docs/usage-instructions/weekly-schedule/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="calendar-location"&gt;Calendar/ location&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A weekly schedule can be maintained for each calendar/ location you have created in your settings. Switch between calendar/ location with the drop-down button at the top left of the page.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The weekly recurring schedule is separated from the actual session calendar so you don&amp;rsquo;t have to adjust the &amp;lsquo;standard&amp;rsquo; schedule for temporary changes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Your default location/ calendar is determined by your personal profile settings. Want to change your default location/ calendar? Go to &lt;a href="https://sessy.app/en/docs/usage-instructions/profile-settings/"&gt;Profile Settings →&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Calendar</title><link>https://sessy.app/en/docs/usage-instructions/calendar/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://sessy.app/en/docs/usage-instructions/calendar/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="calendar-location"&gt;Calendar/ location&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The calendar can be maintained for each calendar/ location you have created in your settings. Switch between calendar/ location with the drop-down button at the top left of the page.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Move between weeks by clicking on the &amp;ldquo;Arrow&amp;rdquo; icons at the top of the page. The week number and the dates are at the top of the calendar.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that the weekly recurring schedule and the actual session calendar are separated so you don&amp;rsquo;t have to adjust the &amp;lsquo;standard&amp;rsquo; schedule for temporary changes.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Communication</title><link>https://sessy.app/en/docs/usage-instructions/communication/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://sessy.app/en/docs/usage-instructions/communication/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="session-details"&gt;Session details&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In case you are programming workouts specific to a day (e.g. CrossFit WOD&amp;rsquo;s) and want to show these details in the session description, this page provides you with an easy way to do so.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Add session descriptions per day / session type:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Select the location/ calendar in the drop-down list&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Click on the session type&lt;/li&gt;

 &lt;span class="text-xl flex-shrink-0"&gt;👉&lt;/span&gt;
 &lt;p class="text-teal-900 dark:text-teal-100"&gt;Make sure you complete the session schedule first. The descriptions will only be added to scheduled sessions.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Payments</title><link>https://sessy.app/en/docs/usage-instructions/payments/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://sessy.app/en/docs/usage-instructions/payments/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="revenue"&gt;Revenue&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h3 id="overview-of-recent-months"&gt;Overview of recent months&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The first thing shown when navigating to the &amp;ldquo;Payments&amp;rdquo; page is an overview of recent periods (months) with:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;the total revenue in that period (subscription revenue, single session payments, shop items)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;the amount unpaid&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Single session payments and shop items are added to the revenue when the payment is executed. Subscription revenue needs to be &amp;lsquo;refreshed&amp;rsquo; for a complete/ accurate overview. It is calculated for that exact moment in time.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Reports</title><link>https://sessy.app/en/docs/usage-instructions/reports/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://sessy.app/en/docs/usage-instructions/reports/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="1-members"&gt;1. Members&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The members report metrics (top segment of the page):&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A line graph with the development of the member count. The member count is updated weekly on Sunday-Monday night. Only members with an active subscription are counted (hover your mouse above the graph to see details)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The latest member count and the inflow/ outflow during the past 30 days.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A donut graph that shows the distribution of the currently active subscriptions (hover your mouse above the graph to see details)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The bottom segment of the page contains a list of all members (with both active and cancelled subscriptions). The report contains:&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Profile settings</title><link>https://sessy.app/en/docs/usage-instructions/profile-settings/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://sessy.app/en/docs/usage-instructions/profile-settings/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="profile-settings-dialog"&gt;Profile settings dialog&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The profile settings allow you to customize your personal experience of using Sessy. The changes you make in your profile do not affect other users.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Click on your name at the bottom left of the page to open the profile settings dialog.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="choose-provider"&gt;Choose provider&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you work for multiple businesses that make use of Sessy, easily switch between them by selecting from the drop down list.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="select-location-calendar"&gt;Select location/ calendar&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Change your &amp;lsquo;default location/ calendar&amp;rsquo; by selecting the desired value from the drop down list. By changing this value, the backend (and member app) will show this location/ calendar when your first load the page/ app.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Sessy AI Assistant</title><link>https://sessy.app/en/docs/usage-instructions/sessy-ai-assistant-en/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://sessy.app/en/docs/usage-instructions/sessy-ai-assistant-en/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="sessy-ai-introduction"&gt;Sessy AI introduction&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Use clear, engaging titles&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Keep summaries concise for notifications&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Use images to enhance content&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Test formatting before publishing&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id="publishing-strategy"&gt;Publishing Strategy&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Save drafts frequently while editing&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Review content carefully before publishing&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Consider optimal timing for member engagement&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Use unpublish feature for temporary removal instead of deletion&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id="automated-clean-up"&gt;Automated Clean-up&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Newsletters are automatically deleted after 1 year to maintain system performance&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Clean-up runs daily at 2 AM (Europe/Amsterdam timezone)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Both published and draft newsletters older than 1 year are removed&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Associated images are also deleted from storage&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Important newsletters should be archived externally if long-term retention is needed&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

 &lt;span class="text-xl flex-shrink-0"&gt;💡&lt;/span&gt;
