Checklists Panel

Stec Records - StecTools

The StecTools Checklist panel is a web page that allows you to create checklists for keeping track of equipment moving from one location to another such as to and from a gig.

Overview

Items added to the list are shown with a checkbox labeled "loaded" that turns the background red and reveals a second checkbox labeled "returned" when clicked.  The background turns green when the “returned” checkboxes for all the checked “loaded” items have been checked.
