Configure Play steps and timers

Play settings can guide someone through timed activities, repeated sets, or a sequence of steps. Use only the controls that fit the activity.

Set template defaults

  1. Open a template that uses Play and select its settings icon.
  2. Open Play in the template settings.
  3. Under Layout, choose Grouped or One at a time. Under Timing, set preparation and rest times. Review the completion and timer options below.
  4. Select Save to apply your changes, or Cancel to restore the last saved settings.

Use the circled question mark for help. It appears when you hover over a setting or focus its control, and stays visible on touchscreens. Hover or focus the icon for a short explanation; select it to open the matching guide.

Set up a task's activity

  1. Open a template that uses Play.
  2. Select a task and open its Play tab.
  3. Set Time per set, Sets and Repetitions as needed. A blank or zero timer means no timer; blank sets means one set. Repetitions is a target to display, not a counter.
  4. For Rest time, choose Default to follow the template, No rest to skip rest for this task, or Custom to set a task-specific duration.
  5. Under Completion, choose whether this task can finish a timer early, or keep Default to follow the template.
  6. Select Save, then test the task in a new run. Use Cancel to restore its last saved settings.

Template defaults and individual tasks

Task settings marked Default follow the template, including later changes. No rest and No are task-specific choices. Switching tabs keeps unfinished edits without saving them.
