| Integrated Session | “Stand Alone” Session | |
| What is it? | A session that is linked from its start to an appointment that has been created in Aloha. If Appointment Data is part of the Lesson Note template, then information from the Aloha appointment will auto-populate into the Lesson Note for this session. | A session that is not associated with an appointment in Aloha at the time it is being run. After it is completed, the session can be retroactively linked to Aloha. Learn more here: (https://support.alohaaba.com/portal/en/kb/articles/lesson-note-syncing-and-linking-to-aloha) Note: When retroactively linking Welina sessions to Aloha appointments, the Aloha appointment information will not populate into the Lesson Note. |
| When to use it? | When the session being run matches a currently scheduled Aloha appointment. When the user would like Aloha appointment data to populate into the session’s Lesson Note. When the user does not want to retroactively link the Lesson Note to an Aloha appointment. | When there is no currently existing appointment in Aloha for the session you are about to run (e.g. last minute schedule change occurred) When you wish to collect IOA data alongside the staff running an integrated session. After completing this stand alone session, and checking its data against the staff’s data for IOA, this stand alone session can then be archived to not affect the client’s analytics. |
| How to run it? | Sessions widget OR Schedule Icon in the navigation bar | Clients widget OR Clients Icon in the navigation bar |
| Notes | When running Integrated Sessions, double-check the correct appointment is selected before starting the session:
If an incorrect appointment is selected, then incorrect information will be imported into the Lesson Note. | When retroactively linking Welina sessions to Aloha appointments, the Aloha appointment information will not populate into the Lesson Note. |
