Users who are in an engagement as a leader, coach, or mentor, have the ability to easily review and take action on their coaching and/or mentoring sessions in the system.

If users have multi-role access, they will want to ensure they are looking at their correct dashboard. For more details, see [Toggling Multi-Role Dashboards: Sounding Board Access](https://soundingboardinc.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/24530026268443-Toggling-Multi-Role-Dashboards-Sounding-Board-Access).

**Dashboard View**

On your dashboard (coachee, coach, or mentoring), you will see an overview of your sessions.

Under the **Upcoming** tab, you will see up to 3 unlogged sessions, if you have any, and your next 3 scheduled future sessions.

You can also view **Completed** or **Cancelled** sessions under their respective tabs. 

**Viewing Sessions Tip!**

If you are involved with different types of programs (1:1 coaching, group coaching, on-demand coaching, mentoring), you will see tabs differentiating your program types. If you are only in one type, the tabs will not display, and you will simply see the information about your sessions.

**Viewing Sessions Tip!**

Sessions are color-coded to make them easier to distinguish at a glance -

- Blue - Upcoming Scheduled Coaching Session
- Purple - Upcoming Scheduled Mentoring Session
- Green - Past Logged Session
- Red - Cancelled Session

# **Calendar Session Download**

The calendar download option will be visible and available to users in the following scenarios:

- When no calendar is synced to their account
- When their calendar fails to sync automatically
- When specific sessions haven't successfully synced to their calendar

This manual download option ensures users can still access and import their event information even when automatic synchronization isn't available.

*Note: Downloaded calendar events are a snapshot in time. If a session is later rescheduled or cancelled, your downloaded calendar event will not automatically update to reflect these changes.*
