We have an availability feature in the road map so athletes can share their availability easily with their coach, but in the mean time I've been working with a coach on a work around that can provide a basic version of the feature with the current tools.

Firstly, create an item in the workout library and choose "Availability" as the workout type. You can create as many of these that suit your workflow. e.g Availability - Morning, Availability - Evening etc.

In the "Extra Details" of the library item set it so that the client can see it in their library so they can drag it on to their calendar.

Now you can use the library item, or ask your clients to use it to add their availability to their calendar so you can see it on each day.

Now you or your clients can use the "Copy day" or "copy week" features in calendar mode to build out the availability across a number of weeks.

You could also optionally create a "Template" plan in your plans library that holds many weeks of availability to easily apply to a client calendar all at once. You can also give your client access to that template plan so they can use it themselves.

Notifications

If you want to get notified each time a client adds availability to their calendar you can use the "When a client adds an item to their schedule of the "Availability" base type and I am assigned as their primary coach" notification setting under the "Client Schedule Changes" heading. This is also a bit of a Hack.

You can now password protect public facing web pages.

This is great for giving access to premium content without the complication of your customers needing an account to login to your platform.

This works with Custom pages on your website.

To configure it log in to your platform and browser to the custom page you want to password protect.

Click the cog in the top left hand of the page and then click "Configure this page"

Then click the "Permissions" tab and check the password protect box and enter the password.

Website visitors will now be prompted to enter the password to view the page.

To test it, make sure you logout first or use a chrome incognito browser (while not logged in)

We've added some settings for coaches to be able to receive notifications via email or in the platform when their assigned clients, or clients they are part of the coaching team for submit a form.

Many of our coaches have integrated intake, onboarding or check in forms that get filled in regularly. Previously the only way for individual coaches to get notified was by overriding the default email notification address on the form. Now this can be controlled by setting the assigned coach on the client.

There are also a few other changes to support this.

1. New notifications settings (email or platform) for assigned coach or coaching team.
2. New setting on the form to turn off the default email notification
3. Option to disable coach notifications on specific forms

New Notification Settings

Turn off Default Email

Unchecking the "Send Default Email" will turn off the default email notification that would either go to the email address that is the default email address for the platform or to the email address set to override that.

Disable Coach Notifications

Checking this will stop any notifications being sent to individual coaches based on their settings.

You can now search your workouts from the library by Library Group.

This makes it easier to organize and find your specific workouts without having to type a search term that matches the name, title or variation field in a workout.

The workout library group has been a concept for quite a while so if you haven't been organizing your workouts by Library Group then you can start doing so. We've moved the Library Group field up into the main section when creating or modifying a workout from the Coaching - Library page.

First you should create your Library Groups from the Coaching - Library Groups page.

Once you've created your Library Groups you can edit a workout and select the group.

Now from the library search in the calendar you can either use the search box and type the name of the library group, or select a library group to filter by from the dropdown (but not both).

Searching By Name of Library Group

Searching by Selecting Library Group

For the inline search while you have a new workout open in the calendar, you can type the name of the library group to filter the list.

Velocity is an indoor cycling app that allows athletes to connect their Training Tilt account and get access to their scheduled structured cycling workouts from their calendar. They can then complete their workouts on their smart trainer in the Velocity app.

The connection process works a little differently to our other integrations. Athletes must first register or login to their Velocity account and then from the connections screen connect their Training Tilt account. Velocity will then pull in their planned structured cycling workouts and push any completed workouts back to their calendar.

To make the connection process simpler we have added a link to the Velocity app on the athletes settings screen in Training Tilt along side our other integrations.

Velocity also allows coaches to host interactive training sessions with groups of athletes or subscribers.

Compared to other platforms like Zwift, Velocity is a more affordable and practical option for athletes who need to automatically get access to and execute their structured indoor cycling sessions. You can learn more on the Velocity website.

Please share this info with your athletes. Athletes can download the Velocity desktop app here.

Also they've just released a cool new feature where athletes can stream TV and video directly inside the Velocity app while completing their workout. A cool feature that saves athletes having to have two screens if they want to watch something while working out. You can learn more about that new feature here. 

You can now select multiple ranges in a workout chart to compare in the laps table.

We've added a set of switches to control how you want to interact with the workout charts.

Changes

The combined stream chart is now hidden by default. This will make the page load faster and improve performance while navigating the charts. You can switch this on if you want to see the streams on a single chart. You can also switch the individual stream charts on and off.

Mouse wheel zoom is turned off by default as that can cause issues for those who use a mouse wheel to scroll up and down a page. You can switch that back on if you want to.

The default settings on a chart are "drag to zoom" which enables you to drag a section on the chart and all the stream charts will zoom into that segment.

You can switch to "Drag to Select" which enables you to select multiple segments on the chart and compare them in the laps table.

When you select new segments on a streams chart, each segment will be numbered and listed in the laps table.

You can clear the selection by switching back to "Drag to Zoom" mode, or by clicking the reset icons on the chart or in the table header.

NOTE: These features are in the new activity analysis screens you can access from the "Activity Search" page, or by the "Analyze (Beta)" buttons and context menus.

We've released our new notifications feature that allows you to configure whether to receive our existing email notifications, or our new platform notifications or both types of notifications!

New notifications are shown on the top right hand version of the web app. The count indicator is the number of new unread notifications since you last visited the notifications list

Visiting the list will clear the new notifications count but will still show you read vs unread notifications. Unread have a white background, and read have a grey background.

You can right click a notification or click the three dots to mark it as read/unread or dismiss it. Dismissing it will delete the notification permanently.

You can filter by read, unread or all notifications.

You can use the button and options to mark all as read/unread and delete all to for those like me who like to get to inbox 0.

You can choose which notifications you get via email vs the notification list in your notification settings page from the top right hand menu.

Currently the notifications list is only available on the web app but will soon also be available on the mobile app for both athletes and coaches.

Our native Coros integration is now live!

In case you missed it we also recently released our Suunto integration and our Wahoo Integration 

As we did for Suunto and Wahoo the Coros integration will be in two parts, the first is to for athletes to be able to connect their device and automatically sync workouts to their account. This is live now.

The second part will allow Coros users to send planned structured workouts so they can complete them on their device while being guided interactively.

Coming Soon

We are now planning the Apple Watch integration. This one is a little trickier as it requires integration into the mobile app as Apple only allows access to the Apple Health data via an Apple device.

Our native Wahoo integration is now live!

In case you missed it last week we also released our Suunto integration.

As we did for Suunto the Wahoo will be in two parts, the first is to for athletes to be able to connect their device and automatically sync workouts to their account. This is live now.

The second part will allow Wahoo users to send planned structured workouts so they can complete them on their device while being guided interactively.

Coming Soon

We are also getting close to completing our Coros integration, again this will be in two stages, first syncing completed data, and then sending structured workouts to devices.

This will be in two parts, the first is to for athletes to be able to connect their device and automatically sync workouts to their account. This is live now.

The second part will allow Suunto users to send planned structured workouts so they can complete them on their device while being guided interactively. Suunto refer to this feature as "Guides" and is similar to our existing feature for Garmin users. This feature will be coming soon.

Coming Soon

We are also getting close to completing our Wahoo integration, again this will be in two stages, first syncing completed data, and then sending structured workouts to devices.

Coros is also underway with the same approach. Zwift is still on the plan, but we are still waiting on Zwift to set up things on their end for us. That's a work in progress.
