When you see the “Title” box, you will always want to type in an appropriate title for the item you are working on such as “SLM Activities Checklist 1” for your first entry in the Activities Checklist then Activities Checklist 2 for the second entry, etc. This will be very important because you will need to be able to easily locate items in the “Artifacts” tab later.

When you are ready to enter information for repeat items in a section, you will need to click on the Artifacts tab at the top of the screen.
