Organization Owners

Org Owner Lings
Organization owner pages
Each organization can have multiple helping professional accounts but only one designated organization owner. The organization owner is given access to additional features that allow them to manage the organizations One Life Storyteller account.

Helping professionals who are not organization owners can only login as clients, add clients and edit their helping professional profile. Organization owners can manage:

  • Purchase Credits
  • Helping professional accounts
  • Email templates
  • The organization profile
  • Client resources
  • Report Customization

The organization owner can be changed on the organization profile page.

Clients

The client section is the main helping professional page, it allows you (the helping professional) to manage, view and edit the clients within your organization.

When you first come to the client page no clients are displayed (this is to prevent clients you are working with in person from seeing the names of your other clients). You can view your clients in one of two ways:

  • Org Owner Lings
    Client search box
    Search for the clients name or email in the search box.



  • View all client buttons
    Click View My Clients or View All Clients. This will display all clients assigned to you or all clients within the entire organization.

Helping professional client account

As a helping professional you have your own client account so you can add your own stories, create a Career Statement and use the One Life Storyteller to help manage your own career. This is also a great place to get familiar with the system.

To access your client account click My Client Account in the left hand menu.

Client status

All clients will have one of 3 statuses – this is displayed on the search page and when editing the client.

  • Invited

    Invited status client

    Clients in invited status have been sent an email inviting them to setup an account, but they have not yet done so. Until a client has activated their account they cannot login. Click the Resend Registration Email link to resend the invitation email.

    To invite a client click the Invite Client button and enter their email address. Inviting a client uses one of your Narrative Assessment Credits, if the client never activates their account you can have your credit refunded by clicking the Uninvite button.

    If your client didn't receive the invitation email check that the clients email is correct in the edit client page, resend the invitation email and askthe client to check their junk/spam mail folder.

  • Active

    Active clients are clients who are fully registered and have full access to the system.

  • Archived

    Archived clients cannot login to the system and you cannot login as archived clients. Archiving a client allow you to restrict their access while preserving their data. Archived clients can be reactivated at anytime.

Editing clients

The edit client page has 3 sections: Details, Assign Resources and Transfer Clients

  • Details

    The client details section allows you to edit the client profile, account expiry and client status.

  • Assign Resources

    The assign resources section allows you to assign resources to a client which will show up in the Questions & Notes section of their account. Resources are divided into two sections, organization resources & One Life Tools resources. Organization resources are those resources which were uploaded by the organization owner in the client resources section. To assign a resource to a client simply click on the check box next to the resource name, it will then show up in the Questions & Notes section of the clients account.

  • Transfer Clients

    Use this page to transfer a client to another helping professional within your organization.

  • Client account expiry

    Account Expiry
    Set an expiry date on client accounts to give
    them a limited period of access

    Use the client account expiry if you want clients to have a limited period of access to the system. Some organizations use this if they are billing clients for a set period of access.

    Add an expiry date in the client details page. On the date you set the clients account will be changed to archived status. The client account is not deleted, it is just changed to archived status so the client cannot login. You can always reactivate the client.

    Narrative Assessment status

    Account Expiry
    Set an expiry date on client accounts to give
    them a limited period of access

    By default, it is manditory for all clients to complete the Narrative Assessment before gaining full access to the system. This ensures clients have a basic understanding of the Online Storyteller and narrative model before being given full access.

    You as a helping professional can choose to have your clients skip the Narrative Assessment if you prefer to guide them through the Online Storyteller yourself.

    There are four Narrative Assessment status'

    • Assigned

      The Narrative Assessment is assigned to the client. When the client logs in they will be brought to the start of the assessment.

    • In progess

      The client has started, but not completed, the narrative assessment. When the client logs in they will be brought to where they left off in the assessment.

    • Completed

      The client has completed the narrative assessment. When the client logs in they will be brought to their Online Storyteller dashboard.

    • Skipped

      You have skipped the Narrative Assessment for this client, click re-assign if this was an accident. When the client logs in they will be brought to their Online Storyteller dashboard.

    Regardless of the clients status, you as a helping professional can login directly to the clients dashboard. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXWHAT IS POPUP LIKEXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX. This allows you to work with your client using the Online Storyteller during your first session, then assign the Narrative Assessment to do at home.

    You skip the narrative assessment for a client on the edit client page.

    If your client didn't receive the invitation email check that the clients email is correct in the edit client page, resend the invitation email and askthe client to check their junk/spam mail folder.

    Login as a client

    When working with a client you don't need to have the password for their account, you can login to any clients account directly through your helping professional dashboard.
