Don't panic! we are with you all the way.

Depending on your Licence Plan you may have more than one session type to pick from. It can seem a bit tricky, but there is a lot of help available. Read Part 2 of this post here.

"Give me an hour to chop down a tree and I will spend the first 50 minutes sharpening my axe"

We get it - most people are time poor. That's why we try to make things as simple as possible for all users. However, spending a bit of time reading around the basics will save time in the long run.

What are the session types?

There are 2 main session types - Standard Sessions and Multi-Centre Sessions.

What's available to you will depend on your Plan. After clicking on 'Create new session' everyone sees the Standard Session option. Some will also see the Multi-Centre option.

How to choose the right session type

The flow diagram below shows the options for Session Creators on an Enterprise Plan.
