Checkpoints to Collections
Assigning a Checkpoint to a Collection
While assigning a form to a collection is ideal for bulk updates, there are many situations where a more precise and context-specific approach is required. In these cases, you can assign an individual checkpoint (operation) directly to a collection.
This method gives administrators fine-grained control over how checkpoints are grouped and ensures that only the relevant operational instances are included in a collection.
When to Use This Method
Assigning a checkpoint directly to a collection is useful when:
A form is used widely across different contexts (e.g., audit checklists, GMP checklists, cleaning checklists), but only one specific usage should belong to a collection.
You need granular control over which checkpoints are grouped together.
Adding the entire form to a collection would incorrectly assign all its checkpoints.
Example
A single “Checklist” form may be used for:
Internal Audits
GMP Inspections
Cleaning Verification
Inventory Checks
You would not add the form to a collection because that would group all of these together.
Instead, you assign only the specific checkpoint (e.g., GMP Inspection → Cleaning Collection).
Step 1 — Navigate to the Checkpoint as an Admin
Ensure you are toggled into Admin Mode.
Navigate to the operation/checkpoint you want to assign.
You can access it through the site structure, schedules, or directly via your operations index.

Step 2 — Open Advanced Settings
Inside the checkpoint editor:
Scroll down and open the Advance Settings panel.
Locate the Collections field within the panel.
This is where you assign the checkpoint to a collection.
Step 3 — Assign the Checkpoint to a Collection
In the Collections field:
Click the dropdown labeled Select collections….
Choose the collection(s) you want this checkpoint to belong to.
Multiple collections may be selected if appropriate.
Each assigned collection appears as a tag (e.g., Cooking CCP3).

Step 4 — Update the Checkpoint
Once you’ve selected the correct collection(s):
Click Update Operation (or Update Checkpoint) at the bottom of the page.
This confirms the assignment and updates the checkpoint immediately.
How Didge Applies the Assignment
After saving:
Only this specific checkpoint is assigned to the collection.
No other checkpoints using the same form are affected.
The checkpoint appears inside the Site Collections view under the chosen collection.
The collection’s visualisation and mapping update instantly.
This ensures complete precision for complex or multi-purpose forms.
How End Users See the Collection Assignment
When staff open the assigned checkpoint:
A Collections section appears at the footer.
Expanding it shows:
The assigned collection
Other checkpoints inside that collection
Operational context
Linked table reports
Policies, SOPs, or documentation connected to the collection
This adds operational clarity and transparency for end users.
Summary
Assigning a checkpoint to a collection provides:
Granular Control: Only specific checkpoints are grouped, avoiding misclassification.
Flexibility: Ideal for forms used in many unrelated contexts.
Real-Time Accuracy: Collections update instantly after saving.
Better Operational Context: End users see exactly where the checkpoint belongs within the workflow.
