Coaching client documents & assignments

Keep every document, shared frameworks and worksheets going out, completed work and reflections coming back, organized by client and program in one place the client can reach through their portal, rather than scattered across email and cloud folders. Exantur does this, and lets you build assignable worksheets that clients complete in place.

Materials can be uploaded to a client’s document library and made available through the portal. Coachees can also upload documents, completed worksheets, reflections, or materials to bring into the conversation, so the exchange runs both ways in one place instead of across inboxes.

Because everything is filed against the client and the program, the library is a chronological record of the work as much as a folder: you can see what was shared when, and what came back.

Assignments are handled alongside documents, so what a client is asked to do and what they return live in the same place, tied to the program. Nothing gets lost between "I sent you a worksheet" and "did you get a chance to look at it," because the brief and the response sit together on the client’s timeline.

Context is what makes an assignment worth reviewing rather than just filing. When the completed worksheet sits next to the session notes that prompted it and the goal it was meant to move, you can read a piece of work as part of a story instead of an isolated file. Before the next session you scan the client record and the returned work is already there, in order, so preparation is reading rather than reassembling.

Beyond static files, you can build interactive worksheets from blocks, headings, text, number fields, media and a signature field, and assign them to a coachee to complete in their portal. A worksheet that needs a signature, a coaching agreement or a consent form, can be signed off in place, and the completed version comes back attached to the client and program. For formal contracts, full e-signature is available as an add-on.

Building from blocks means a worksheet is yours to shape rather than a fixed form you work around. A reflection exercise can be mostly text prompts; a check-in on a measurable habit can use number fields; a short agreement can end with a signature block. Because the worksheet is assigned into the portal, the client completes it where they already see their goals and sessions, and you receive a structured response rather than a document you then have to re-key or interpret.

Client documents often hold sensitive personal reflection, so how they are stored matters. Files live in the same EU-hosted, access-controlled workspace as the rest of the coaching record, reached by the client through their authenticated portal rather than as public links floating in email. See secure coaching software and EU-hosted coaching software for how the storage and access model works.

The access model is the substance behind that promise. Each organization is isolated with row-level security, access is protected by multi-factor authentication, and there are no public share links that can be forwarded or indexed. Because everything sits in one system, a data request is answered from one place: you can show a client exactly what you hold and, when the relationship ends, remove it cleanly rather than hunting through drives and inboxes. You remain the data controller for your clients throughout.

The everyday value of a document library is that it collapses two habits into one. Instead of emailing a worksheet and separately saving a copy to a folder, you assign it once and both the sending and the record happen together. Versions do not fork, because there is a single canonical place a document lives, and the returned version attaches back to the same client and program rather than starting a fresh thread.

That consolidation also makes handover and continuity easier. If a client pauses and returns months later, their whole document history is intact and in order, so resuming is a matter of opening the record rather than reconstructing what was shared. For a growing practice, documents kept this way are one less thing that quietly degrades as the client count climbs.
