How students are added to a batch

Adding students to a batch ensures they automatically appear in sessions for attendance, progress tracking, and reports. Lynk offers flexible ways to add students, whether you’re setting up a new batch or expanding an existing one.

There are three supported ways to add students to a batch, depending on your workflow.

Why Adding Students to a Batch Matters

When a student is added to a batch:

  • They appear automatically in all scheduled sessions

  • Their attendance is tracked without manual effort

  • Coach notes and progress reports link correctly

  • Future payments and insights stay aligned

Without being part of a batch, students won’t be included in session-level workflows.


Ways to Add Students to a Batch

Lynk supports three enrollment flows:

  1. Standard Flow (General student creation)

  2. Adding students to an existing batch

  3. Adding students to a new or empty batch

Each method fits a different use case.


1. Standard Flow: Add Students First, Assign Batch Later

This is the most common way to add students when building your roster.

How it works

  • Go to Manage tab → Add Consumers

  • Choose one of the available options:

    • Add manually

    • Bulk import (via desktop)

    • Import from phone contacts

During this flow, you can:

  • Assign the student to a batch immediately, or

  • Save them without a batch and enroll them later

When to use this

  • When onboarding new students individually

  • When importing a large list at once

  • When setting up your student database before batch planning


2. Add Students to an Existing Batch

If a batch already has enrolled students, you can add more directly from the batch itself.

How it works

  • Open the Batch card

  • Tap Students

  • Choose one of the following:

  • Add new student (enter details manually)

  • Select from existing (choose from your student list)

Once saved, the student is immediately enrolled into that batch.

When to use this

  • When expanding an ongoing batch

  • When moving a student into an active class

  • When enrolling from an already created student list


3. Add Students to a New or Empty Batch

For batches that are newly created or currently have zero students, Lynk provides a dedicated flow.

How it works

  • Open the Batch card

  • Tap Students

  • Select one of the two options:

  • Add new student

  • Select from existing

After selection, the student is enrolled into the batch and will appear in upcoming sessions.

When to use this

  • When setting up a batch before classes begin

  • When enrolling the first student into a new batch

  • When organizing batches ahead of schedule


What Happens After a Student Is Added

Once enrolled in a batch:

  • The student appears in all future sessions

  • Attendance tracking starts automatically

  • Coach notes and progress reports link to the batch

  • Insights and reports update accordingly

No additional setup is required.


Key Things to Remember

  • A student can belong to multiple batches

  • Removing a student from a batch does not delete their profile

  • Bulk import requires switching to desktop for faster uploads

  • Batch enrollment controls session visibility and tracking


Summary

Lynk makes batch enrollment flexible by supporting:

  • A standard creation flow

  • Direct enrollment into existing batches

  • Easy setup for new or empty batches

Choose the method that fits your workflow, and Lynk handles the rest automatically—keeping sessions, reports, and progress perfectly in sync.
