Work step by step in Play View
Play View helps you focus on the work in front of you. Group shows a parent task and its subtasks together; Sequence shows one task at a time. Parent headings organize the work rather than adding another step to complete. In a custom gym workout, this lets you focus on one exercise or group of exercises.
Start and move between tasks
Read the checklist's Instructions when they appear, then start working. If there are no Instructions, Play opens the first unfinished task. When all tasks are complete, it opens the summary.
Use Previous, Next, or Outline to move between tasks. Moving between tasks or closing Play does not mark anything complete. Some runs require you to finish earlier tasks before moving on.
Complete a task
Use the task's checkbox or enter a valid Answer. Required Answers must be filled in before you can complete the task. Optional Answers can be left blank. Use the checkbox or Complete without an Answer when offered.
Saving an Answer does not move you to the next task. If a task requires an Answer, finishing its timer or sets does not replace that Answer.
Timers, sets, and rest
Use Start timer, Pause, Resume, or Restart timer when available. Depending on the task, you may see Done, Finish timer, or Set done. Use the control shown to finish the task, timer, or current set. Skip rest ends a rest early when offered. If its checkbox is available, you can mark the task complete without waiting for the timer.
Sets repeat an activity, with or without a timer. Reps tell you how many repetitions to aim for within each set; they do not repeat the timer. For example, three sets of ten reps means doing ten repetitions three times.
Preparation time comes before the first set of each timed task. Rest can follow a set or come between tasks. The run's settings determine whether finishing a timer completes the task or moves you forward automatically. Completing a task manually does not move you forward.
If the run is set to pause when you leave the app, select Resume when you return. Otherwise, the current timer can finish while you are away, but later timers and tasks will not run one after another.
Instructions, images, and files
Open Instructions for guidance on a task. Instructional images appear below the task title. Swipe to see more, or tap an image to open it full size. Use Close to return. On Android, you can also use Back.
When no image is available, the task's icon or emoji appears beside its name. Files provided with the instructions are there for reference.
Use Add photo or file to attach your own photos or documents. These are separate from the reference files and from File or Signature Answers. Uploading requires an internet connection. If an upload or save fails, retry before leaving the checklist.
Comments and Issues
Use Comments to add notes about your work, then select Save comments.
If Issue reporting is enabled, select Report issue, describe the problem, and select Submit issue. Submitted reports stay with the task as a read-only history. When you have access to the linked follow-up task, you can open it and check its status.
Comments, attachments, and Issue reports do not replace a required Answer.
Save before leaving
You can save task completion, Answers, Comments, and Issues while offline. Pending sync means your changes are saved on this device and still need to sync. Open Cloud Sync to check their status. You do not need to wait for syncing to continue with the next available task.
Finish editing and save before leaving. Closing and reopening Play, switching views, or restarting the app resets temporary progress, such as your current timer and set. Saved results remain.
Review the summary
The summary shows how many tasks you completed and, when available, your work time and total elapsed time. You can return to unfinished work, review Issues, add a note, or close Play. Opening the summary does not mark unfinished tasks complete.
If the checklist came from a routine, the summary may offer a shortcut to schedule the next run.
