CHALK IT - January '23

Welcome to our new monthly recap!

2022 was a very big year for Chalk It Pro! Chalk It 2.0 was launched in January, Class Scheduler followed shortly after that in the Spring and then knocked it out of the park with the NEW Billing Module which launched in the fall. The tri-fecta of workout programming/scheduling/billing in a single app marked a big goal for our company.

Now we're back to focusing heavily on improving our core modules with features and requests that come primarily from you! So thank you for being a part of our continued growth and improvement plan.

Yesterday we launched CHALK IT v2.2.6 and what follows is a description of the major changes.

Create a Member/Convert a Lead

You can now Create a Member manually from the Members screen. After creating the member manually you can fill in Billing Info, assign a Membership, etc... When you create a member manually, an email invite is sent to the new member with instructions on how to finish registration for the app. The member must complete this registration to gain access to the app. Watch this video to learn how to create a Member.
You can now convert a Gym Lead into a Member. If the Gym Lead has payment information in Stripe and/or documents filled out, they will all be brought over to the new member. Watch this video to learn how to convert Leads to Members

Billing updates

A Shopping cart has been added to the Gym Store. This adds more options for the user to purchase items together instead of defaulting to the single 'Buy Now' option for every item. Please Note: Coupons that apply to multiple/all products can be created in Stripe and applied at the cart level. Here's how to create a coupon for Multiple Products that can be used in the Cart.
Invoices can now be created and marked as 'Paid out of Stripe'. This feature is useful if you want to create a record of cash transactions in your system. Watch this video to see how to use this feature!
You can now add Membership Class Limits per Billing Cycle (in addition to weekly/monthly). Additionally, you can also combine limits across multiple tracks in one membership. Look for these options in the Membership Edit Screen. *Combined limits will be available for punchcards in the next release.

Pending/Deferred Invoice Items can now be removed by an Admin. Watch this video to learn how to Delete or Invoice Pending Items at any time

Class scheduler updates

Add some color to your classes! You can now add a background color for your classes in the class calendar set up. Click the Calendar View in Class Setup to view your changes. Your public calendar link will also display the colors. Note: Colors will be incorporated into the Class Reservation area soon

Mobile users can now add reservations to their device calendars automatically or manually. This upgrade replaces our previous 'Add to Calendar' manual feature, and now leverages the mobile device native functionality for a seamless experience for the user. Mobile users can find the new feature under the My Reservations area in Class Scheduler.
Waitlists now show the order in which the users will get added should a reservation get cancelled.
The status for Drop-Ins can now be changed to 'No-Show', 'Reserved', 'Checked-In'.
You can now add classes that don't count against Member Limits. Perfect for those in-gym social events.

Tracking and Programming updates

Leaderboards can now be downloaded to .csv files. This is very useful if you use our Challenge boards and want to download final results, or if you want to export the information for your own creative uses! Look for the download icon at the bottom of ANY leaderboard!

What's next?

In the month of February we'll be working on two major upgrades amongst many other things. We will be adding the ability to add sub-accounts under a main account (i.e. perfect for kids) and upgrade the chalk talk system to allow for 1:1 communication without having to create private tracks.
