Rules Worth Knowing
- Nothing is required while drafting. Completeness is only checked when you press Submit.
- To submit, at least one of Manpower (company plus headcount), Work Performed (area plus description), Delays (description plus duration) or Notes must be filled in.
- You cannot approve your own log. The rule is enforced on the server.
- Only drafts can be edited or deleted, whatever your role.
- Only approved logs are compiled into a client report — plus submitted ones on a project that does not require approval.
