Adding a New Checklist to a Section.
Now, let's dive right into the process of adding a Checklist. No need to worry – it's as simple as pie! Just follow these straightforward steps:
-
Click on the desired section.
You'll be taken to the section page, with the section name displayed at the top.
-
Click "Add New Checklist".
-
Name Your Checklist - Ensure the name is clear and distinctive for easy recognition and efficient search results.
Remember, Checklists can be divided into sections to facilitate the categorisation of various stages within the list.
For instance, consider an ED Safety Checklist with multiple sections such as "1st hour," "2nd hour," and so on. This structuring can be replicated using our Checklist builder, particularly in a digital format.

Click "Add New Section" to create a subsection within the checklist.
A new tab will expand, allowing you to build that particular section of the checklist.

Give the section a name.

Click "Add Item" - these are the 'tasks' within your checklist.
-
A pop-up window will appear, providing the option to choose the format (checkbox or text input).
-
Provide a title for the checkbox or text input and add any additional information if necessary. Remember, these details define the task.
-
Click "Add Item".
-
You'll be directed back to the checklist, where your newly created task will be visible.
