We recommend that you set up a template for any meetings where you meet regularly.

- Choose which metrics you will regularly be syncing on by using the Select a metric dropdown menu and input the name of the individual's metrics that you would like to review (it's worth noting that you can add as many metrics as you would like, but it's important to stay focused on priority metrics for the individual)
- Select the timeframe you would like to review for each metric
- Next choose your recurring pulses
- Once you have completed the input of recurring items use the blue Save button in the upper right corner to save your 1-on-1 template
