See which steps are built and tested

Switch on Coverage to see, on every step, where its card stands and what its tests say - and find designs where something fails.

In short

Once a plan is made, each step of the workflow knows its card and its tests. "Coverage" paints that on the canvas: where the card is, and whether the tests prove the step works. The Designer list shows "7/12 verified" for each workflow, and so does the header of an open workflow - press it to show or hide the coverage map.

Before you start

• Who: anyone who can open the workflow. Records you cannot open are hidden from the words on a step.
• Plan: Designer is part of every plan, Free included. The Free plan limits how many designs a workspace keeps; Plan & usage shows the limit and what you hold.
• First: make the plan (see /help/designer/create-the-plan). Until then every step says "No card".

Steps

1. Open the workflow, choose "Show" and then "Coverage" under "Colour by".
2. Read the words on each step and the legend under the toolbar.
3. Select a step to see its "Build and proof" line in the inspector, with "Open card" and the card's column.

1. On the Designer home, open "More filters" ("Filters" on a phone) and find "Proof".
2. Choose "All steps verified", "Something failing" or "Not verified yet".

What the words mean

Good to know

• Some linked records may be hidden from you. Then the step says "Some linked records are hidden from you, so this says only what you can see."
• A step whose built API answers differently from the design shows a drift word too. See /help/designer/design-drift.
• The list counts the 50 most recent workflows. An older one shows no count.
• Press "Download" in the legend for the coverage as Excel or PDF. Each requirement ID on a step is counted too. See /help/designer/requirement-ids.

If something goes wrong

• "Coverage cannot be shown right now." - try again in a moment; the coverage reads cards and tests from other modules.
• Every step says "No card": the plan has not been made yet. See /help/designer/create-the-plan.
