|
| Embed URL |
Iframe a 3rd party website directly into the coaching agenda. No action for the user to take. Be aware that not all platforms allow 3rd party embedding. If you are embedding a Google Sheets URL, we recommend embedding a URL generated through the "Publish to web" share option rather than "Share with others". Learn more here. |
|

A list of options for the employee to select, choosing all that apply. An "Other" option is available as well. Example: Which products would you like additional training on? Choose all that apply. |
|

A list of options for the employees to select, choosing only one. An "Other" option is available as well. Great fit for True/False or Yes/No type questions. Example: Have you completed your monthly review? Yes or No. |
|
| Gong Calls |
Available if the Gong integration is enabled and authorized. Employees attach one or more of their Gong calls when the Check-In opens. |
In this example the Employee attached calls and the manager left comments. |
| Lessonly Lesson |
Available if the Lessonly API within the Seismic integration is authorized. Select from any public, published Lessonly lessons and add them to coaching agendas. When selecting a lesson, there is no filtering for lessons assigned to a particular employee(s), but rather you will be presented with a list of all public, published lessons that can be added into the coaching agenda. |

Rating Categories (optional)
Don't see the Rating Categories option? If your package supports Rating Categories, the feature can be enabled by any user with Admin permissions. Left navigation > Administration > Features. Within the Manage Features interface, click on the Features tab. Locate the Coaching: Check-In Ratings feature, and toggle "On".
Optionally select rating categories you wish to track and correlate with the Check-Ins created using this Template.
Rating Categories can be added or removed after the Template's creation.
Note: If more than one rating is present, Ambition will take an average of the submitted ratings. This average can be helpful when searching for specific Check-Ins, as it's a filter in the manage Check-In page and exportable in the coaching reports.
If you'd like to add additional rating categories, learn more about creating categories here.
