Daily Logs are the project’s official day-by-day diary. Each log is tied to a single calendar date and collects entries across multiple categories — manpower, equipment, deliveries, inspections, visitors, phone calls, quantities, delays, and free-form notes. A complete daily log is your best defense in a schedule or payment dispute.

Create today’s log

1

Open Daily Logs

From the project, go to Field Execution → Daily Logs. The list shows every date; today is pinned at the top. Click Open (or Create if no entries exist yet for the day).
2

Confirm weather

Weather is pulled automatically for the project address. Review the conditions and adjust if the auto-captured data doesn’t match what you saw on site.
3

Add entries by type

Use the Add Entry menu and pick the relevant type:

  • Manpower — company/trade, headcount, hours, work performed.
  • Equipment — on-site equipment and hours used or idle.
  • Deliveries — material received, supplier, ticket number.
  • Visitors, Calls, Delays, Quantities, and Notes as needed.
4

Attach photos

Add photos directly to the log. They are also available from the project’s Gallery so the field record stays connected.
5

Distribute the log

Click Distribute to email the day’s summary to the project’s daily-log recipients. Distribution rules can send it automatically each evening — see the project daily-log settings.

Troubleshooting

I can’t edit an older log

Logs may lock after a configurable number of days to preserve the record. Ask your Project Admin to extend the edit window in daily-log settings.

Weather looks wrong

Weather follows the project address. If the address is missing or incorrect, update it in Project Information and the next day’s capture will be accurate.
