Running Recipes

A "run" is an instance of executing a recipe. When you create a run from a recipe, you get your own copy of all the steps that you can work through, mark complete, and customize as needed.

Creating a Run from a Recipe

To create a run:

  1. Go to the recipe you want to execute
  2. Tap the Run button or menu option
  3. A new run will be created with all the recipe's steps

The run is now yours to work through at your own pace!

Viewing Your Runs

To see all your runs:

  1. From the home screen, tap My Runs
  2. Your runs are organized into two sections:
    • Active Runs: Runs that are in progress
    • Completed Runs: Runs you've finished

Each run shows:

  • The run title (or recipe title if no custom title is set)
  • Progress indicator showing completed vs. total steps
  • When it was created (encoded in the run ID)

Working with a Run

When viewing a run, you can:

  • Complete steps: Tap the checkbox next to a step to mark it done
  • Edit the title: Give your run a custom name to distinguish it from others
  • Add notes: Attach notes to specific steps
  • Record measurements: Enter numerical values for steps that need them
  • Edit step descriptions: Customize step text for your specific needs
  • Insert new steps: Add additional steps as you discover you need them
  • Reorder steps: Change the sequence of steps
  • Skip remaining steps: Complete the run by skipping all incomplete steps

See Managing Run Steps for detailed information on working with steps.

If you have multiple runs from the same recipe:

  • Use the Previous and Next buttons to move between them
  • Use the keyboard shortcuts (if available) to quickly navigate
  • View the run history to see all runs for a recipe

Anonymous Runs

You can also create runs without logging in:

  1. Provide a recipe title and steps
  2. Create a temporary run that's stored locally on your device
  3. These runs aren't synced to the server

Anonymous runs are great for quick, one-time tasks!

Org Runs

If you're part of an org, you can create runs that belong to the org:

  • Create a run from an org recipe
  • The run will be associated with the org
  • Other org members can view and work with org runs (depending on permissions)

Use the scope switcher to toggle between personal and org runs.
