Create and Manage Multiple Daily Log Areas (Beta)

The Daily Log tool allows you to create and manage multiple logs within the same project on the same day. It enables you to name or segment logs by Areas, helping teams to organize log entries by location, phase, or shift for improved clarity and accountability.

Each area supports its own set of independent entries. This helps in easy creation, editing, and reporting. With this ability to create and manage multiple daily logs per project, teams can:

• Structure logs in ways that accurately mirror the work being performed - by crew, area, or phase.

• Use the tool more effectively for clearer attribution of work and ownership, smoother collaboration, and simpler data review and approvals.

• Filter logs by Area to focus on the relevant entries - for example, superintendents can view only their assigned Areas without distraction from other parts of the project.

• Prepare high-quality project documentation for a larger project or complex reporting.

• Required User Permissions:

  • 'Admin' level permissions on the project's Daily Log tool.

To create and manage multiple daily log areas, use the following procedures:

• Create and View Log Areas

• Edit a Log Area

• Delete a Log Area
