Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I add dietary tags (e.g., Gluten-Free, Vegan) to my recipes?
Yes. In the recipe editor, you can select from a list of standard dietary tags or add custom tags to help you filter your library later.
If I edit a recipe from the built-in database, does it change the original?
No. When you save a recipe from the database, it creates a unique copy in your library. Any edits you make only apply to your version, not the platform's global database.
Can I attach a recipe directly to an Action Plan?
Yes. When building an Action Plan, you can use the "Add Recipe" tool within any meal section to search your library and link a recipe directly for the client to view.
Troubleshooting & Common Issues
Issue: Changes are not saved
Potential Solution: Ensure you click Save before exiting the recipe editor. Navigating away without saving will discard your recent edits.
Issue: Cannot find a specific recipe
Potential Solution: Check if the recipe is filtered as Unlisted or is still in Draft mode. Clear all filters to see your entire library.
Issue: Nutritional data isn't calculating
Potential Solution: Ensure you have entered specific quantities for ingredients. The system requires standard measurements to calculate accurate nutritional totals.
Issue: Image upload failing
Potential Solution: Check that your image is in a standard format (JPG or PNG) and is under the maximum file size limit.
