# Memorized Prep Logs

Memorized Prep Logs allow users to create templates for inputting Prep Logs. While a User can create a single [Prep Log](/doc/docs/prep-log-1), a Memorized Prep Log enables a User to log Prep without having to recreate a new log each time.

After creating a name for the Prep Log, select a Station. Once that Station is selected, all of the recipe items saved as prep for this location will be listed underneath the item heading. Clicking Recipe Items will cause them to shift to the **Prep Stations** listing. As different Stations are chosen and subsequent items are selected, the Prep Stations listing will continue to grow and be organized by Station.

Items can be dragged and dropped within a Prep Station in whichever order desired.

Once completed, click **Save**.
