Practice Routine Help - Saving and Updating

Hi all.

I have recently started using the practice assistant which I think is amazing. I may not be using the functionality correctly, or have mistepped in creation, but I am having issues.

My goal is to be able to record everything I do, and see how I am getting better, which from the video is what the PA is for. Outline below are the problems I seem to be having.

  1. I have a Daily Routine, which is scales and strumming. I have a Guitar Technicals routine, a level 1 and level 2 songs routine.
  2. If I have daily routine active, and I go to practice and click on the major scale pattern, I donā€™t use the metronome online, as I am using the JG time trainer. I click on my notes, add them in and then click ā€˜mark as donā€™e log full scheduled timeā€™ such as below.

For some reason though, it has recorded 10 min of practice, when I have only done 5. This is issue 1.

From my understanding, we have to hit ā€˜reset routineā€™ if we want to practice the item more than once, is that correct? I think it might be nice to have a button that is just ā€˜log againā€™ or something like that which would allow us to add multiple sessions of the same thing on the same day.

My next issue seems to be with something I have missed inputting during the creation of the item.

What is the undefined item referring to? As far as I am aware, I put everything in.

Thatā€™s me for now, would love some assistance on what I need to get this running, as I now have a routine, and setup organization, just want to practice and record progress.

Hi Bret @bkennedy74, regarding your last question, the ā€˜undefinedā€™ thing: itā€™s a bug which has been flagged before. It is supposed to (and used to) show the label of the corresponding practice item. When you have more than 1 item, you will see them all represented in the graph, in different colours, and they should each have their label. As it is, the label thing doesnā€™t work at the moment, but you can of course still figure it out by matching the colour of the line in the graph with the colour of the different items listed above the graph.

oh ok got itā€¦ thanks[

Once you click on ā€˜Done, log full timeā€™, you should have an option to click on either Repeat Item, or Go To Next Item. I think Resetting Routine just brings you back to the top and doesnā€™t show any items as completed. If you donā€™t reset though you can have as many repeats of one or more items as you wish (ie you donā€™t have to practice each item the same number of times).

Thanks for all the replies, ran into another issue today.

I added in some new items, added them to the level 1 songs routine as usual.
After I did one of the songs today, well the first one actually, the statistic value, which is usually at the end of the logging process didnā€™t come up, and when I go to the stats window, it doesnā€™t show.

A few screenshots below.
It is also coming up ā€˜you havenā€™t added a description for this itemā€™ when there was one. Is there a bug somewhere?



Not sure why or what it was, but I had to delete that item and redo it, now it seems to come upā€¦

@Richard_close2u and other mods, are there possibilities of having tweaks / additions made to the practice routine feature on the website? I feel like it is 90% perfect, but there are few things that I wanted to ask about

the first is, when you do something multiple times, like once every day, it doesnā€™t seem that the notes are kept, it seems like you just update or change the previous notes, a record of previous notes to go back to would be awesome.

That is the first, there are one or two others, but will ask the question first.

Thanks for all the detail and screenshot.

@FannyJustinGuitar No worries. I am going to make another test today, in relation to using more than 1 routine a day, ie: I have piano as well as 4 JS routines, and when I have practiced and logged the items, the count doesnā€™t seem correct.

I will say that I am manually logging, and not using the countdown timer on the web app,but Iā€™ll make a post later with more detailed findings.
