Create a daily log
A log is always created as a draft, and the day's content is added from there.
How to complete new log
- 01
Open the panel
Click New report (or Create log if the list is empty). The New daily log panel opens with "Start log".
- 02
Pick the date
Report date defaults to today. The date is spelled out below so you can check it.
- 03
Pick the main topic
It defaults to General. The list shows the project's topics. If you came from a topic in the sidebar, that topic is locked.
- 04
Write the title
For example "Level 1 slab pour" (up to 255 characters). It is required.
- 05
Optional: initial notes
If you fill them in, a Notes record is also created for the day.
- 06
Review the responsibles
You start as the main responsible; you can search and add other project members.
- 07
Create
Click Create log. The button is enabled once there is a date, a topic and a title.
- 08
The log opens
You see "Log created as draft" and the panel switches to the workspace: Draft badge, preloaded weather, the day's records and, on the right, Add content.
- 09
Back to the list
Close the panel with the X or by clicking outside. The log shows in the table as Draft.
