A One Page Plan template allows you to create a starting point for your clients by setting up a coach kickoff template. This guide will walk you through the process of creating, customizing, and using these templates effectively in MGS.
Creating a Coach Kickoff One Page Plan Template
Step 1: Accessing Your Account
-
Log in to your own company account. For example, if you are Coach Colin, your name will appear in the upper right corner.
-
Ensure you are in your company account as the template will be saved from this page.
Tip: Create the template before entering your company’s specific information into the One Page Plan.
Step 2: Starting with a Pre-Made Template
-
Navigate to One Page Plan on the left-side panel.
-
Click Add Plan in the middle of the page.
-
From the dropdown menu, select the MGS Kickoff Template and click Save.
Why MGS Kickoff Template?
It includes static boxes for one-year and three-year goals, which are ideal for initial setups.
These static boxes can later be replaced with dynamic metric components.
It does not include a differentiators component, which can be added when needed.
Step 3: Customizing the Template
-
Select Edit All in the upper right corner to open the components for customization.
-
Hover over a component to access its editing tools:
-
Drag Icon (Diamond): Move components up, down, left, or right.
-
Pencil Icon: Edit text, titles, or content.
-
Three Dots: Access additional options, such as adding list items, changing settings, or adding new components.
-
-
To customize the layout:
-
Use the Settings option under the three dots to update colors or apply changes to the entire row.
-
Add new components such as text boxes, metrics, or differentiators.
-
-
Use the Show Tips option (found under More in the upper right corner) for overlay guidance on each component.
Step 4: Saving the Template
-
Once satisfied with the layout, click More in the upper right corner and select Save as Template.
-
Name the template (e.g., "Coach Kickoff Template").
-
Choose Shared to make it visible to all the companies you coach.
-
Click Save.
Step 5: Using the Template for New Companies
-
Navigate to the My Companies section and select a company (e.g., "Leading Edge").
-
Go to their One Page Plan page, which will appear as a blank canvas.
-
Click Add Plan and select your saved "Coach Kickoff Template" from the dropdown menu.
-
Click Save.
Step 6: Updating and Refining the Template for Clients
-
Populate Metrics: If the company already has metrics entered, they will automatically populate into the One Page Plan.
-
To manually enter static information, use the Edit All mode.
-
-
Switch to Rolling Metrics:
-
For companies using rolling metrics and forecasting targets, replace static boxes with dynamic metrics components:
-
Click Add Component and select Metrics One Year or Metrics Three Year.
-
Remove old static boxes using the three-dot menu and select Remove.
-
-
-
Add Differentiators:
-
Use the three-dot menu to add a Differentiators component and position it where desired.
-
Step 7: Final Adjustments and Exporting
-
Adjust the layout so all components fit above the serrated line (visible in Edit Mode) to ensure proper printing on one page.
-
Save your changes.
-
To export as a PDF:
-
Click More in the upper right corner and choose Export.
-
Save and print as needed.
-
By following these steps, you can create and use a Coach Kickoff One Page Plan Template tailored to your coaching needs, ensuring a smooth and professional setup for your clients.
