Log Entries can be created to document any important or relevant notes for the day. Additional items, such as attachments, tags, and priority statuses, can be included to further define an entry.


Once Log Entries are saved, they can be viewed on the Home page for the date and Location specified as well as included on the Log Entries page. Log Entries can always be edited by the User who created them as needed and will include a 'Comments' section where Users can enter comments about the entry.

9) Add Attachment - When clicked, this icon's color will change to blue and open an 'Attachments' section, where the User can drag and drop or click the box to upload an attachment. Up to 10 attachments can be added to a Log Entry.

Edit a Log Entry


Users will either be able to edit all Log Entries or just their own entries, based on the preferences set by Admin Users who built out their Location's Logbook. By default, Users are only able to edit their own entries. Depending on the permissions set, there may be limited editing abilities.



Regardless of whether Users can edit their own or all Log Entries, Users can edit an entry simply by navigating to the Log Entries page and clicking into the desired Log Entry. This will open the entry in a sidesheet, where any details can be updated and then saved by clicking the 'Save' button.


To delete an entry, click the trashcan iconlisted next to the 'Save' button and confirm its deletion from the confirmation message that appears.


Log Entries that the User cannot edit will be marked as 'Locked' in the top-right corner of the Log Entry.




Enter Log Entry Comments


Once a Log Entry is initially saved, Users can return to the Log Entry and leave comments about the details entered in the 'Comments' section. Click here to learn how to enter Log Entry comments.
