Clir software allows you to manage your routines by creating checklists that effectively handle their complexity and variability.
Consider the routines that you go through in your work and personal life. You may have gone through each of them a hundred times before, but each time will be at least a little different; some steps might be added, skipped, or modified. These variances might be due to the weather, the date, or a decision that can ripple through separate areas of the routine. An employee, friend, or family may need to go through one of the routines, and they probably won't have your same experience or knowledge of all the routine's tasks. The solution is a checklist written in a customizable language that can be generated right when it's needed.
Using this language, all parts of a routine are written in lists that break up the work in an understandable way, but are linked together to form a whole. Prompts present the user with relevant questions depending on the current situation. Based on the answers, conditional branches provide different possible paths of action.
Lists are written in a markup language that, for the most part, reads like natural language while providing powerful customization, even a level of programmability.
There are two phases of work involved when using the software: authoring lists ahead of time, and then generating a checklist whenever it is needed.
Before using either of the two phases mentioned above, it is first necessary to login at the intro page by entering your user name, and then selecting either the Editor or Checklist Generator page buttons. After this, a login dialog box will appear in the browser with an entry for the username and password. Once these are successfully entered, the page will finish loading.
Writing lists is obviously the more detail-oriented and time-consuming phase. Depending on the complexity of the routine, it may take additional time to organize into multiple lists and paths depending on the different possible branch inputs. This phase is best performed on a laptop/desktop web browser, or possibly a tablet.
The editor page provides access to the user's home directory, where folders and lists reside. The page provides a list browser, individual list editor, authoring tools, error checking, and status messages.
With typical commercial use, only certain employees will work with the authoring phase. Most employees will start with the generator page discussed in the next section.
A checklist is generated whenever it's time to perform a routine. The generator page is optimized for on-the-go mobile use, but can also be run in a desktop environment. In this phase, none of the complexity of writing lists is involved; knowledge of the markup language is not needed. The user is simply taken through a series of prompts, providing answers based on the current conditions.
Once a checklist has been generated, the checklist page allows the user to complete items as they go through the steps of the routine.
