Daily Logs — Overview
The daily field record — what the register shows, how logs are filtered, and how a log moves from draft to approved.
The Daily Log is the field record of a day on site: who was there, what plant was running, what got built, what held things up, who visited, and what happened on the safety side. Each log belongs to one date on one project, and moves through draft → submitted → approved before it counts as a signed-off record.
What You See
Click Daily Log in the sidebar. The register opens on the My Logs tab with one card per log, newest first.
My Logs shows everyone's logs
Despite the label, the My Logs tab is not filtered to you — it lists every daily log filed on the project. Use it to check whether a day has already been recorded before you start a new one.
Each card carries the weekday and date, the shift in brackets when one is set, and a strip of figures that only appear when they are non-zero:
| On the card | What it means |
|---|---|
| N workers | Total headcount across the manpower rows |
| N activities | Work Performed entries on this log |
| Nh delays | Total delay hours recorded, in red |
| Incident warning | Shown in red when the Safety section records an incident |
| N photos | Photos attached to the log |
| Status badge | Draft, Submitted or Approved |
The Two Tabs
| Tab | What it holds |
|---|---|
| My Logs | Every daily log on the project, filtered by the toolbar |
| Daily Reports | The approval queue — logs waiting for review, with a count badge |
Daily Reports only appears if you hold approval permission and the project requires approval. If you cannot approve, you will only ever see one tab.
Filtering the Register
The toolbar has three controls:
- A status dropdown — All Statuses, Draft, Submitted or Approved
- From and To date inputs, which narrow the register to a period
- Clear dates, which appears once either date is set
One Log per Date
A project holds one daily log per date. If you open New Log on a date that already has one, an amber banner tells you so — go back and open the existing log instead of starting a second.
The Shift field (day, night or swing) labels which shift the log describes. It does not split the day into separate logs.
What Each Status Means
| Status | Badge | What you can do |
|---|---|---|
| Draft | Draft | Edit every section, save, submit, or delete it |
| Submitted | Submitted (Pending in the approval queue) | Read-only. It is waiting for review, or waiting to be returned |
| Approved | Approved | Read-only and permanent. There is no un-approve |
