AppBuilder question about workout section countdown & zone alert

AppBuilder seem to be super powerful and useful tool. (THX to the originator :-) Does anybody know how I can do the following two things:

a) get a field with a countdown of the current section of the workout? I use training peaks for workouts, transfer them to the Forerunner 945 and the countdown with the remaining time of the workout section appears automatically on one of the default "run" screen. Is that possible in Appbuilder as well, and if you how?

b) Is there an option for Zone alerts (e.g. power, or HR, or pace) in structured workouts transferred to my Forerunner 945? How could I implement that? (found only fixed alerts, but not dynamic workout synchronic)

In any case many thanks for any kind hint.

1) Structured workouts - CIQ Apps does not know how long / what is placed in your workouts. Hence no way to read it.

2) For structured workouts, this settings AFAIK is set when you write up the structured workout. Nothing to do w/ CIQ Data fields. (also refer to #1, no way to read it). If you want the CIQ Field to alert you, the CIQ field itself will need the zones settings. (basically, you need write the settings on Garmin Connect Workouts as well as the CIQ field itself (if it supports it) [yes, you need to do it 2x. again due to #1

Yep, Nikeow is correct on both counts. Thanks!

Thanks for the interest in the app hermes_alpine.

If you're interested in power alerts while running, I recommend Run Power -- it's a full-screen (6 field) data field with power alerts:

For top-tier watches like FR945, Run Power basically has AppBuilder built in. (You can add up to two custom metrics with the formulas of your choice).
