How to book, reschedule, cancel, or update session duration

Supervisors are the only ones who can book sessions. This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to book, reschedule, cancel, or update the session duration directly from the dashboard.

📆 How to book a session

Follow these steps to successfully schedule a supervision session:

  1. Click Book session
  2. Select your Attendees
  3. Choose the Date, time, and duration
  4. Set the Session frequency (e.g., one-time, weekly, monthly)
  5. Confirm the correct Time zone
  6. Select the Location ("Remote" or "In-person")
  7. Click Book session to finalize

Once booked, both you and your supervisee will receive a confirmation email with a HIPAA-compliant Zoom link and automatic email reminders

You can also join the session directly from your Motivo Dashboard up to one hour before the scheduled start time

🔁 A note about recurring sessions

If you select a recurring session that ends by date, be sure to track that date. Once the end date passes, sessions will no longer appear on the calendar and will not continue automatically

We recommend setting a calendar reminder to rebook sessions as needed to avoid unintended gaps

  1. Go to the Sessions page on your dashboard

  2. Click the Upcoming tab and select the session you want to cancel

⏱️ How to adjust session duration if someone leaves early

If either the supervisor or supervisee leaves early, you’ll need to update the session to reflect the actual time spent. This ensures records are accurate and billing is aligned with the time delivered

If the supervisor leaves early:

  1. Go to the Sessions page on your dashboard
  2. Click the Completed tab and select the session
  3. Click Edit session
  4. Adjust the Duration (in 15-minute increments)
  5. Click Update session, then mark attendance as usual

If the supervisee leaves early:

  1. Go to the Sessions page on your dashboard
  2. Click the Completed tab and select the session
  3. Mark attendance as Partially attended
  4. You’ll be prompted to adjust the time (in 5-minute increments)
