Q: How do I customize the DataGrids?

A: The DataGrid can be customized allowing you to arrange, display and calculate specific fields based on their preference for fitness activities, by doing the following: Display or hiding columns in the DataGrid. The customize button will launch a list of all the column headings available. You can select the columns that are most important for the fitness activity. Moving column headings. Column headings can be moved to reorder the data seen in the DataGrid. You simply click on the column heading and drag it to the area in the DataGrid to best fit your use for that activity. Grouping the DataGrid by column headings. Drag a column heading to the top of the DataGrid to display data in hierarchical groups. For example, you can group the running DataGrid by "location". The DataGrid will now group all the runs by location and display the details for all runs under each location. You can expand or collapse each grouping

Q: How do I enter a workout?

A: The workout entry form is an easy to use interface. The detail section of the entry form is common among all types of fitness activities. The detail section saves information such as time, duration, location and name of the fitness activity. The DataGrids are unique to the fitness activity being entered and contain columns and calculated fields pertaining to the fitness activity being added. You can enter an unlimited number of exercises or sets by simply typing directly into the DataGrid

Q: Can I modify the layout of the screens?

A: Yes! Everyone has a different idea of how they would like to navigate through an application. EvenFit allows each window to be "docked" in different locations on the screen. The window can also be "undocked" allowing it "float", so you can move it freely anywhere on the screen. The Calendar, NavBar and Workouts grid can also be pinned or un-pinned. By un-pinning these items, the window will automatically be hidden until you place the mouse over the appropriate button. The view will re-appear as long as you're using the window.

Q: Can I use tempates to enter activities?

A: Templates are a huge time saver for the user who needs to enter similar information for a series of fitness activities. For example, a user may have a running workout that takes place in the same location, has the same warm-up and cool down duration but different distance and pace for the actual run. The user can set up the template with this information and insert one line in the DataGrid for the actual run. You can easily add a fitness activity by choosing "Add Workout From Template" from various locations in the application. Templates can be beneficial when entering one workout or an entire marathon training schedule.

Q: What is the difference between "planned" and "actual" workouts?

A: "Planned" workouts are workout activities entered for future completion. For example, you may want to enter all workouts for a specific marathon training plan.  These workouts would be "planned". "Actual" workouts are workout activities that are entered after the activity is completed. The actual workouts are the tracking portion of the EvenFit application, where the workout numbers are recorded. For example, after a 10 mile training run you are able to record distance, time, pace, heart rate, etc.

Q: How do I manage planned and actual workouts?

A: An activity user option is set by the user to turn on/off the planned versus actual functionality. The user option sets the appropriate columns to visible and adds a "Copy to Actual" button to the activity DataGrids.

The "Copy to Actual" button is used to copy all planned data into the actual DataGrid columns when a workout has been completed as planned. If the workout activity is completed other than planned, you can simply type directly into the DataGrid to record the data.
