Your Coherent Account Guide

Resource

Learning resources to get you started using Coherent, for workspace operators and hosts.

Jump to:


Opening Your Account

Creating an account with Coherent takes no longer than ten minutes.

  • To get started, please create your Operator account at operator.coherent.work. The Operator is the company that owns your workspace(s).
  • Fill out the requested information about your company and choose your email address and password.
  • Finally, you must connect your workspace to a GoCardless or Stripe account. You can set this up from the Coherent dashboard.

You will be required to enter your bank details to authorise your account. Please rest assured that no charges will be incurred until you add your first paying member.


Inviting Your Team

Administrators can perform management tasks, such as inviting users, setting up workspaces, establishing integrations and more.

There are two types of administrators on Coherent:

  • Operator Administrators. These superusers have access to the Operator Dashboard. They can perform the following tasks: edit company information, invite hosts and other superusers, establish new workspaces, view Coherent monthly fees and set up multi-site integrations.
  • Workspace Hosts. They will not have access to the Operator dashboard. They are only able to manage individual workspaces. They can change workspace settings, update logos and pictures of the space, set opening times, establish membership plans and invite staff to that workspace.

If you are an Operator Administrator, you can invite colleagues via the Team panel on the Operator Dashboard. Simply enter their email address and choose whether they will be an Admin or Host.


Creating a Workspace

As an Operator Admin, you can create and manage buildings across your portfolio.

In the Operator Dashboard, open the Workspaces panel. You will see your list of buildings.

To create a workspace, click the “New Workspace” button and provide the required information.


Inviting Members

It’s simple to invite members to sign up for your workspace through Coherent.

When you have created your Resources and Tariffs you are ready to start inviting members.

  • Simply click “Get Share Link” next to the desired tariff, then “Copy Link” and send this to your future member.
  • When they click the link they will be taken to the sign up page for that Tariff. The process will take them around 5 minutes to complete.

Alternatively, you can host your public sign up URL on your website, e.g. https://yourworkspace.coherent.work/signup

Tip: Note that people will only be able to see your Public Tariffs. They will need the unique code to view any Hidden Tariffs.

The Workspace Dashboard

The Workspace Dashboard is your best friend as a host.

When you log in to your workspace you will be greeted by your Dashboard. Think of this as a homepage where you will be able to see upcoming events and bookings.

Most importantly, this page will notify you of any changes that require you to take action. These will be things such as membership changes or contract renewals, so keep an eye on them.

Changing Workspace Settings

Your workspace settings allow you to customise how your space functions.

Before moving on to other aspects of the platform, we recommend you take the time to update your Workspace Settings.

To do this, head to the Settings panel where you can update workspace details, change preferences, invite workspace team members and manage your workspace-specific integrations.

We especially recommend you take the time to read through the Preferences section where you can edit things such as minimum booking duration, when a member’s first monthly invoice is raised and whether community messages are sent as emails.

Analytics Overview

Coherent’s analytics system shows you what’s working well and what needs improvement.

You can find a variety of informative graphs by clicking on the Analytics Panel on the left-hand menu.

Coherent automatically analyse the raw data and communicates it to you in a digestible format.

The graphs are fairly self-explanatory; you can see Total Revenue, Recurring Revenue, PayG Revenue, which memberships are most lucrative, and the occupancy rates of your different Resources.

To create a Staff Account, you’ll need to sign up as if you are a member.

Firstly, create a monthly tariff called ‘Staff Tariff’ or something similar from your Workspace Dashboard.

Set the tariff to hidden, note the code, set the price to £0 and add all resources, giving them ‘Shared’ and ‘Unlimited’ access.

Once you’ve done that, log out and follow your workspace URL link to your workspace login page. Hit ‘Sign Up’ and follow the steps. Note that you’ll need to use a unique email address.

When you get to the tariff page, enter the hidden code. Complete the rest of the signup process, and you’ll land in your dashboard, where it asks you to enter payment details.

You don’t need to do this. You can log out at this point, log back in using your Host email address, head to ‘Organisations’ and impersonate this staff account you’ve just created.

From here, you can make bookings for your workspace for your staff.

Please contact us if you require any help setting up a Staff Account.

To invite members of your team to join your Coherent account, head to:

Settings > Staff tab > Invite Staff Member

Please contact us if you require any help inviting staff members to your account.

You can change a team member’s account from Host to Admin from the Operator Dashboard. Only admins can see this dashboard, so they need to use their email to access this section of the Coherent app.

You can log in to access the operator dashboard here > https://operator.coherent.work/

Once in the Operator Dashboard, head: Team > Hit ‘Edit’ next to the team member you would like to upgrade > Select ‘Admin’ under the Role section > Update

Yes, you can change your welcome screen image and workspace logo by heading to:
