Task lists overview

Prep Lists are specifically designed for your food prep tasks, while Check Lists are designed for your typical routine tasks outside of food prep.

Prep Lists Overview

The structure of a Prep List is as follows: 

Prep List: The top level element for which categories and tasks can be created within.
Category: A category is an important organizational element within Prep Lists. Categories contain tasks that need to be completed.
Task: Tasks are the pulse of Prep Lists. These are the actionable items that need to be completed within a Prep List.

Here are a few examples of the structure of Prep Lists:

Check Lists Overview

The structure of a Check List is as follows: 

Check List: The top level element for which tasks and sub-tasks can be created within.
Task: Tasks are the actionable items that need to be completed within a Check List.
Sub-task: Sub-tasks can be created within tasks if your parent task requires multiple actionable sub-tasks within it. Sub-tasks are not required when making Check Lists.
