The following tutorial is a basic approach on how to get started with creating dynamic checklists in phpCheckZ.

This tutorial is also available in the documentation folder of each phpCheckZ release. In the future I will write a tutorial on how to take advantage of our bridges.

#1 - Find the Add Checklists link on the Admin Page or on the left menu under the moderator nav.

#2 - On the Add Checklists Page you will see the following:

• Title
  • This is simply what you want to name your checklist.
• Make Public?
  • This locks the list from being filled out by members. This includes all member groups: registered, moderators and admin.
• Lock List
  • When a list is locked, moderators will not be able to edit the list. Only admin will be able to edit the list.
• List Item #
  • These are the list fields.
  • Notice how every “List Item” has 2 options, Parent and Child of:
  • List Item #001 is unchangeable.
  • Parent means the item will be at top level.
  • Child means it will be the child of the parent you choose. Child items can be children of other childs also.

#3 - Example Checklist Walkthrough

• Load the Example Checklist (TV Show) from the List of current CheckLists on the admin page.
• Now that you have the Example Checklist loaded lets look at how it works.
• The first item is Season 1 followed by Episode 1 through Episode 7
• Season 1 (Item #001) is a parent item.
• Episode 1 through 7 are child items of item 001.
• This means that Episodes 1 through 7 will appear under Season 1.
• The same goes for Season 2 and Episode 1 - 6.
• Episode 1 - 6 are children of item 009 which is Season 2.
• Now that’s pretty easy, right?
• Now go create some checklists! =)
