Multiple Options Checklist Flow

[Longhorn92]

I’m new to MiraCheck CoPilot and I’ve done some digging and don’t see a solution to my dilemma. I’d like to have my Preflight checklist when it comes to starting engines ask if it’s a Normal Start or a Hot Start, and then proceed down the procedures for which ever choice I make. Then it would go on to the same After Start Checklist without seeing any of the other Option for Starting. I hope that makes sense. Can anyone give me a suggestion as to how to do that?

There are a couple of solutions here. One is to use the Filter capability. With the Filter, after launching your checklist you can be given two options. One Normal Start, and one Hot Start. Based on the one you choose, it will show the appropriate content. You can learn more about Filters here.

Using Filter Tags

Filter Tags is a feature that allows you to filter your checklist when it is launched. In the editor, under the Advanced section you will see the Filter Tags property. Enter tags such as IFR, or Night. When you tag something you are saying you want the option to hide or show the item when the checklist runs. Items that are not tagged will always show, and many of your items would not be tagged. But if you have specific items you want to display like the CRAFT sketchpad when you are flying IFR, t…

Another option is too use Value Triggers. This will allow you to ask the question in the flow of your checklist. This tutorial shows a similar use case, although you would want to make one of the sections visible and hide the other one in your case.

Value Trigger Tutorial

For your use case you would want the question to be, Do you want to do a Hot Start? If you answer NO, you can make the assumption to go down the Normal Start path.

if (mc.gettValue()==="yes") {
   mc.setVisible("hotStart");
   mc.setHidden("coldStart");
} else {
   mc.setVisible("coldStart");
   mc.setHidden("hotStart");
}

Let me know what option you chose and if it worked for you.
