New Release: Add Decisions And Actions To Worksheets
Add decisions and actions to shared tools
- Let your client do it or add them yourself
This week we are launching 4 new exciting beta features on GrowthWheel Online:
- Your clients can see the list of tools you share with them in a new menu called Shared Tools
- You can add and manage clients without giving them access to GrowthWheel Online
- You can download PDFs of the 360° Screening and the 30-60-90 Day Plan with an updated design
- You can add decisions and actions on tools that you have shared with your client
These features will help you and your clients work together and share tools online.
Shared Tools
- Both you and your clients can see shared tools
When you have shared a tool or file with your client, that client is now able to see them in the Shared Tools menu.
Add decisions and actions to shared tools
- Find them in the 30-60-90 Day Plan
In the Shared Tools menu, you can now add decisions and actions to each of the tools that you and/or your client has filled out and shared. The decisions and actions are automatically transferred to the 30-60-90 Day Plan.
#1 Choose a shared tool
When you have emailed the tool or file to your client, go to the menu Shared Tools in the client's interface and choose the shared tool to which you want to add decisions and actions.
#2 Add decisions and actions
When you enter the tool in the menu Shared tools, you can hit the button "New action" and create a new decision or action that is related to that tool.
#3 Find decisions and actions in the 30-60-90 Day Plan
As soon as you add decisions and actions to a tool, you will be able to see them in the client's 30-60-90 Day Plan.
Here you can plan when to make the decisions and carry out the actions.
Invite clients or just create them
You can now add clients to your client list without inviting them to join GrowthWheel Online. This is useful, if you want to use the platform only to keep track of your clients, or if you simply would like to explore the features a bit more before inviting them.
PDFs of your client's decisions and actions
- Updated design of PDF files you create
We have updated the design of the PDFs you create from the 360° Online Screening and the 30-60-90 Day Plan. The PDFs will have key information about the tool, the company, and the team. This will enable you to easily print the decisions and actions you and your clients make to have them handy whenever you need them.

New Release: Keep track of your shared tools
Keep track of your shared tools
- And your clients can do the same
This week we have launched 3 new menus: “My Files”, “Shared Tools”, and “Client Files”.
With the new features, you can now upload your own files, send the files to your clients, and keep track of all shared files. And the best thing is that your clients can do exactly the same!
To get started go to the new menu "My Files" and upload one or more of your own files. You can both upload documents, spreadsheets, images, and PDF's.
#1 Shared Files
Keep track of the files you have shared
The new menu "Shared Files" will help you keep track of all the tools and files you have emailed to a client. Go to your Client List, select a client, and go to Shared Tools to get an overview. You client will have the same option of viewing shared toold.
#2 My files
Upload and share your own files
You can use your files the same way as you do with the GrowthWheel Tools: email files to a client, download them, mark your favorites with a start, and add files to the toolbasket.
#3 Client Files
See all your client's shared files
Your client is also able to upload files to GrowthWheel Online. This is a good way to share filled out Worksheets or information about the client company. In the new menu "My Client's Files" you can get an overview of your clients files.
#4 Send Links to Tools instead of Attachments
