Tests
Tests track measurable benchmarks over time, such as a max hang or a campus board assessment. You set up a test with the fields you want to measure, record results against it, and each test gets a progress graph and a full result history. You can also schedule tests on your planner.
Creating tests and viewing progress are on web only. In the mobile app you can schedule a test and record a result for it.
Creating a Test
Start a new test
Go to Tests from the sidebar and click New Test.
Name your test
Enter a Test name, like “Max Hang Assessment” or “Campus Board Test”, and an optional Description.
Add fields
Add a field for each measurement you want to track, and click Add field for more. Each field has:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Label | What appears on the form (e.g., “Max Hang Weight”) |
| Type | Number, Text, or Select |
| Unit | Number fields only. Optional unit of measurement (kg, lbs, seconds) |
| Description | Optional help text for the field |
| Higher or lower is better? | Number fields only. Sets which way counts as progress |
Save the test
Click Create. The test’s page opens, ready for your first result.
Field Types
| Type | Use For |
|---|---|
| Number | Weights, times, counts, measurements |
| Text | Notes, descriptions, qualitative observations |
| Select | Predefined options (e.g., “Left”, “Right”, “Both”) |
Number fields are plotted on the test’s progress graph. Text and select answers appear in each result’s details.
Higher or Lower Is Better
For each number field, choose which direction counts as progress:
- Neither — show change only — the default. You see how much each result changed, but no personal best.
- Higher is better — for things like added weight or pull-up reps.
- Lower is better — for things like the time to finish a set circuit.
With Higher is better or Lower is better, Sequence tracks your personal best for that field and highlights results that improve on it.
Recording Results
Open the form
Go to Tests and click Record result on the test’s card. You can also click Record result on the test’s own page.
Enter your values
Fill in the fields you measured. Every field is optional, so skip any you didn’t test. The Test Date defaults to today but can be changed.
Save
Click Record Result.
After saving, the result opens on the test’s page. For each field it shows the value you entered, the change since last time, and a Personal best label if you beat your best.
Viewing Progress
The Tests page shows a card for each test with its number of results and the date you last recorded one. Click a card, or View results, to open the test’s page.
The test’s page has a graph of one number field over time, with your latest value, the change since last time, and your Personal best if the field has a direction set. If the test has more than one number field, choose which one to plot from Measurement. Results where you skipped that field show as gaps in the line.
Below the graph, Results lists every result, newest first. Click a result, or a point on the graph, to open it in a side panel with two tabs: Result shows everything you recorded, and Compare sets it against another attempt.
Comparing Results
The Compare tab is available once a test has two or more results. It lists each field with the earlier value, the selected result’s value, and the change between them. Improvements are shown in green, based on the field’s direction.
The comparison defaults to the result before the one you selected. Use Compare with to choose a different one.
Editing and Deleting Results
In the result panel, click the menu (three dots) and select Edit result or Delete result. Deleting a result can’t be undone.
Scheduling Tests
Pick a day
In the Planner, click the day you want to schedule the test.
Schedule the test
Click Schedule test and choose your test.
Record your result
When you’ve done the test, click the scheduled test and record your result. Once it’s saved, click View progress to open the test’s page, or Return to planner.
Scheduled tests appear on your planner alongside workouts and notes. Drag one to reschedule it.
Completing a scheduled test links the result to that date. If you record a result from the test’s page instead, Sequence creates a completed scheduled test for it automatically.
In the mobile app, tap the + button on a day in the Planner and tap Schedule Test. Tap the scheduled test to record your result.
Managing Tests
Edit a Test
Click the menu (three dots) on the test’s card or page and select Edit test. You can change the name and description, add or remove fields, and change field properties. Click Update to save.
Once a field has been used in a recorded result, its type and unit are locked so every result stays comparable. To measure something different, add a new field. Labels, descriptions, and the higher-or-lower setting can still be changed.
Earlier results keep the fields they were recorded with. If you remove a number field, its past results stay on the test’s page as earlier results, which you can choose from Measurement.
Delete a Test
Delete test only appears in the menu on the test’s page once the test has no results. Delete all of the test’s results first, then delete the test.
