Sections split a checklist into parts, such as **Front of House**, **Kitchen**, and **Food Safety**. It's easiest to add your sections first and then add line items to each one. ### Step 1: Add a section 1. Go to **Admin \> Checklist** and click **View** next to your checklist. 2. On the **Designer** tab, make sure **Section / Group** is set to **-- Main**, then click **+ Add Item**. 3. In **Type**, choose **Section**. Sections can only be added at the Main level. 4. Enter the **Name** of the section and any **Details** (optional). 5. Click **Insert**. Repeat for each section you need. ![The Add Item form at the Main level with Type set to Section, above the Front of House, Kitchen and Food Safety sections](https://www.owlops.com/hs-fs/hubfs/01-add-section.png?width=670&height=216&name=01-add-section.png) ### Step 2: Add line items to a section To add line items to a section, click **Add/Edit Details** next to it. ![The Add/Edit Details link next to the Front of House section highlighted](https://www.owlops.com/hs-fs/hubfs/02-add-edit-details.png?width=670&height=154&name=02-add-edit-details.png) The **Section / Group** filter now shows that section, and the list shows only its line items. Click **+ Add Item** to add the items that belong in this section. For step-by-step help, see **Adding Line Items to a Checklist**. ![The Section / Group filter set to Front of House, showing that section's line items](https://www.owlops.com/hs-fs/hubfs/03-section-filter.png?width=670&height=226&name=03-section-filter.png) ### Step 4: Preview the checklist You can always click the **Preview** tab to see how the checklist will appear. Each section appears as its own heading, and you can use the **All Sections** dropdown to change which sections are shown.  ![The Preview tab with the All Sections dropdown highlighted above the Front of House section](https://www.owlops.com/hs-fs/hubfs/05-preview-sections.png?width=670&height=235&name=05-preview-sections.png) - [Getting Started](https://www.owlops.com/knowledge/getting-started?hsLang=en) - [Daily Operations](https://www.owlops.com/knowledge/daily-operations?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Tasks](https://www.owlops.com/knowledge/daily-operations?hsLang=en#tasks) - [Checklists & Schedules](https://www.owlops.com/knowledge/daily-operations?hsLang=en#checklists-schedules) - [Categories & Workflows](https://www.owlops.com/knowledge/daily-operations?hsLang=en#categories-workflows) - [Mobile App](https://www.owlops.com/knowledge/daily-operations?hsLang=en#mobile-app) - [Homescreen](https://www.owlops.com/knowledge/daily-operations?hsLang=en#homescreen) - [Assets / Inventory](https://www.owlops.com/knowledge/assets-inventory?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Assets](https://www.owlops.com/knowledge/assets-inventory?hsLang=en#assets) - [Inventory](https://www.owlops.com/knowledge/assets-inventory?hsLang=en#inventory) - [Vendors](https://www.owlops.com/knowledge/vendors?hsLang=en) - [Technicians](https://www.owlops.com/knowledge/technicians?hsLang=en) - [Reports](https://www.owlops.com/knowledge/reports?hsLang=en) - [Invoicing and Timesheets](https://www.owlops.com/knowledge/invoicing-and-timesheets?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Invoices](https://www.owlops.com/knowledge/invoicing-and-timesheets?hsLang=en#invoices) - [Timesheets](https://www.owlops.com/knowledge/invoicing-and-timesheets?hsLang=en#timesheets) - [OwlOps for Vendors](https://www.owlops.com/knowledge/owlops-for-vendors?hsLang=en) - [Account & Administration](https://www.owlops.com/knowledge/account-administration?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Departments & Locations](https://www.owlops.com/knowledge/account-administration?hsLang=en#departments-locations) - [Users & Permissions](https://www.owlops.com/knowledge/account-administration?hsLang=en#users-permissions) - [Administrator Tools](https://www.owlops.com/knowledge/account-administration?hsLang=en#administrator-tools) - [Team Training & Onboarding](https://www.owlops.com/knowledge/account-administration?hsLang=en#team-training-onboarding) - [✨ Meet OwlAI](https://www.owlops.com/knowledge/meet-owlai?hsLang=en) - [Technical](https://www.owlops.com/knowledge/technical?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Troubleshooting](https://www.owlops.com/knowledge/technical?hsLang=en#troubleshooting) - [API / Integrations](https://www.owlops.com/knowledge/technical?hsLang=en#api-integrations) - [Release Notes](https://www.owlops.com/knowledge/release-notes?hsLang=en) - [Legal](https://www.owlops.com/knowledge/legal?hsLang=en) [![OwlOps Logo Horizontal White Outline-1](https://www.owlops.com/hs-fs/hubfs/OwlOps%20Logo%20Horizontal%20White%20Outline-1.png?width=131&height=50&name=OwlOps%20Logo%20Horizontal%20White%20Outline-1.png "OwlOps Logo Horizontal White Outline-1")](https://www.owlops.com?hsLang=en) owlops.com Help Center Copyright © 2025, CurvePoint Inc. dba OwlOps
