Configure routine tasks
Tasks are the reusable steps in a routine. Use the mobile editor to configure their names, notes, timers, repetitions, rests, and subtask structure for future runs.
Basic task details
Give each task a short name and put fuller instructions in its notes. Make it a subtask when it is part of a larger step. Reordering tasks or changing their level updates the routine for future runs. Duplicate Task copies the task and its subtasks. Delete Task removes the task without a second confirmation.
Timing and repetition
Set a duration when Play View should time the step. Add repetitions if it must be performed more than once, and add a rest when there should be a pause between rounds. These settings guide the run; they are not due dates.
Answer fields
The current mobile routine task editor does not provide controls to add or change answer fields.
Assignment
The current mobile routine task editor does not provide task-assignment controls. When you start a run, More options lets you choose assignees for the new checklist.
Keep reusable details in routine tasks
For a custom gym workout, keep the exercise name short and use notes, timers, rests, and repetitions for details that should carry into every run.
