Managing Run Steps

Steps are the individual tasks within a run. Checkipe gives you powerful tools to manage, edit, and customize steps as you work through a run.

Completing Steps

The most basic action with a step is marking it complete:

1. Tap the checkbox next to a step
2. The step is marked as done with a timestamp
3. Your progress indicator updates automatically

Completed steps remain visible so you can review what you've done.

Editing Step Descriptions

To customize a step's text:

1. Tap the edit icon next to the step
2. Modify the description as needed
3. Tap Save to keep your changes

This is useful when you need to adapt the recipe to your specific situation.

Adding Notes to Steps

Keep track of observations or details:

1. Open a step's edit view
2. Add notes in the notes field
3. Notes are saved with the step and visible when you review the run

Recording Measurements

Some steps require numerical inputs (like temperatures, quantities, or times):

1. Find the measurement field on the step
2. Enter the value
3. The unit is already specified by the recipe
4. Tap Save to record the measurement

These measurements help you remember exact values you used.

Reordering Steps

To change the sequence of steps in a run:

1. Tap the reorder icon
2. Drag and drop steps into the desired order
3. The new order is saved automatically

Note: This only affects this specific run, not the original recipe.

Inserting New Steps

Need to add a step that wasn't in the original recipe?

1. Tap the insert step button
2. Choose to insert before or after a specific step
3. Enter the step description
4. Tap Add to create the new step

The inserted step becomes part of your run.

Skipping Steps

To skip a step without completing it:

1. Open the step menu (three dots)
2. Select Skip
3. The step is marked as skipped and won't count as incomplete

Skipping All Remaining Steps

To complete a run quickly without finishing every step:

1. Open the run menu
2. Select Skip Remaining Steps
3. All incomplete steps are marked as skipped
4. The run is marked as completed

This is useful when you realize you don't need to complete all steps.

Step Order Numbers

Each step has an order number showing its position in the sequence. When you reorder steps, these numbers update automatically.

Undoing Step Completion

To mark a completed step as incomplete again:

1. Tap the checkbox next to the completed step
2. The completion timestamp is removed
3. The step returns to the active steps list
