Creating Daily Logs

← Daily Logs and Shifts
Create Daily Log records to track the activities during your shift. The software creates some Daily Logs automatically, such as the logs of creating a record or a status change in CAD. However, Daily Logs can also be created manually.

To create a Daily Log record:
  1. Do one of the following:
    — From any screen, click the Daily Log button on the menu bar. The button displays your current assignment, or Unassigned if no assignment has been set.
    — From the Reports menu, click Daily Logs and Shifts to open the Daily Log Search screen, and then click Add Log.
    The Daily Log window opens.
  2. In the Log Entry tab, complete the fields. For field descriptions, see the section "Fields on the Daily Log window" below.
  3. In the Map tab, the latitude and longitude of your current location is displayed. To have the software ignore any positional information, select the Ignore Position check box. If the software cannot find information about your position, or if the Ignore Position check box is selected, then the following message is displayed: There is no positional information available on this record.

    NOTE: By default, your browser might be set up to block sites from accessing information about your location. Make sure to allow the software to use location information so that the Map tab can function correctly. See your browser documentation for help.

  4. In the Attachments tab, add any desired attachments to the log. See the article "Using the Attachments Tab."
  5. Click Save to save the Daily Log record.
