Frequently asked questions

If you have purchased accounts for your students, you need to set up a student account for each student individually.

Click on Coach in the menu bar: 

You will then see the Coach page; this is the page where all the tools you can use as an instructor in Chessity are located. You create student accounts with the tool Manage student accounts:

You will now enter the dashboard where you create accounts for your students and adjust settings. If you have not yet created student accounts, the list is still empty.

In the top right corner, you can see how many accounts you have in stock:

In this example, there are 20 accounts in stock. 

To create an account for a student, click on Add a new student:

A pop-up appears where you can enter the student's details.

All fields marked with an asterisk must be filled in. You may also leave the others blank.

The email address field does not necessarily need to be filled in, but it is useful. The student will receive notifications from you and the program via email. An email address can only be used once within Chessity. You cannot register multiple children with one email address. If the email address is already in use for another family member, you can also leave this field blank. 

Do you still want to use an existing email address? Read here what options are available to do this. 

It is wise to use a logical system when creating usernames that is easy to remember. For example, the child's first name, preceded by a standard addition per school. 

It may seem convenient to include the group in the username, but it is better not to do so. Next school year, the groups will be different again.

Make sure to fill in the student's name correctly, as this name will also be printed on the diploma.

After the new student account is created, the user can be found in your student overview. Here you can also set which usage options you want to activate or deactivate for this student.
