Hi @David
Would it be possible please to introduce a feature that allow batch selection of several intervals in order to rename them.
In screenshot above all the 15s and 45s intervals are called the same thing (‘Work’).
It would be nice to be able to rename these and then filter by name. Alternatively, even to be able to filter by time would suffice.
Thanks
If I’m not mistaken you can give those intervals names that show up in the overview (never seen this list view though - I’m talking about the view on the graph)
I can rename them alright but have to rename each one individually. Very time consuming with a session like that
If you delete the rest intervals, it will show recovery automatically
If you double-click the top of the field section, you can edit and label an interval.
The view in screenshot above is the standard view of the Activity ‘Interval Data’ page.
The situation as it works now is that only ‘Work’ intervals can be labelled. The workout time between two Work intervals is named ‘Recovery’ and can’t be edited.
If you let Intervals detect the intervals, the above case would have intervals of approximately 15s with ‘Recovery’ in between. But the accuracy to detect these short bursts is probably not going to suffice. You get this list of adjacent ‘Work’ intervals when interval detection is set to ‘Use Laps’ (the laps created by the workout or by using the lap button).
An alternative could be that the list on the Interval Data Page can be sorted by clicking on the field headers. But that will create confusion when clicking an interval to edit, because they are no longer chronological ordered.
Not sure which way to go here…
Double clicking doesn’t seem to do anything on that page for me but I can edit label via the ‘edit’ button located beside the ‘work’ and ‘recovery’ interval type names.
Correct
This is a problem in this instance because the 45s intervals are not recovery. There are recovery intervals of 4m each within that workout. I want to name the 15s and the 45s intervals with different names and leave recovery as is.
I can’t currently sort like that either. But that would be an option. I just want to be able to batch select whatever intervals I want and name them whatever I want and after that be able to filter accordingly (like we can currently do with each of ‘work’ and ‘recovery’
I can see recovery alright but want to be able to differentiate between the different work intervals
Your last post made it a little clearer, in that the recovery is not the shorter interval but the 4-min between the set of 15/45.
What purpose would it serve to be able to rename it? Over-unders, Tabata, Fartlek, all have a name for the type of interval.
Not questioning your motives, but rather curious why it matters. If it’s to be able to view the 8x15s next to each other, or the 45s intervals, then I can perhaps understand why.
That is exactly why. The actual renaming is only a means to an end. If I could sort by time then that would suffice
I am planning to do some work on the interval list view soon (averages and so on) which will involve selecting intervals with checkboxes, then I can do bulk edit of the interval label.
Hello David,
Do you also do something about the names of the intervals in this context?
(See Intervals by Name - feature requests)
Excellent. Thanks for the update.
Was this bulk edit option ever implemented?
Hey guys and @david , just wanna quickly slide into the convo as I am also curious about the status of the batch rename. This would be super convenient.
I can make the following use case: when I create a workout in Garmin I sometimes write notes into different workout steps (e.g. the HR range to aim for or the pace to aim for, I know you can set workout targets in Garmin Connect for the different steps, but I hate that and try to avoid it). When I then load the activity into Intervals the intervals are all called exactly like the note I have put in, e.g. “174-183, ~3:35min/km”. And I want to batch rename all intervals (say 12x400m) to just “Run”.
It’s pretty tedious to do it manually for each one, so a batch rename function would be super convenient.
Thanks a lot. Any effort is highly appreciated!
I have just implemented this. Do Actions → Edit Intervals under the activity timeline chart.
This dialog has changed slightly. It edits visible intervals like before but if any of the visible intervals have been selected then only these are edited.
Wow, awesome. Thanks, david! Much more efficient now. Just tried it, is fun! Thanks again
