Using the Daily Log

The daily log is a running record of site conditions, crew activity, and work progress for each project. It gives you and your team a structured way to document what happened on site every day, making it easy to look back at historical conditions, justify delays, and produce reports for clients or inspectors.

Accessing the Daily Log

Open any project and click the "Daily Log" button in the project header toolbar. This opens the daily log view for that project.

Two Views

The daily log offers two ways to browse entries:

• Calendar view — A month grid showing colored dots on each day that has an entry. Green dots mean no issues were reported that day. Amber dots indicate minor delays were logged. Red dots flag days with weather delays. Click any day to view or edit its entry. Navigate between months using the arrow buttons above the calendar.
• List view — A chronological feed of all entries, newest first. Each card shows the date, weather, crew count, and a preview of work completed. Click an entry to expand the full details.

Creating a Daily Log Entry

Click a date on the calendar (or the "New Entry" button in list view) to open the entry form. Fill in the following fields:

• Date — Defaults to today. You can select a past date to backfill entries.
• Weather condition — Choose from 8 options: Clear, Partly Cloudy, Overcast, Light Rain, Heavy Rain, Snow, Extreme Heat, or Extreme Cold.
• Temperature — The high temperature for the day in your preferred unit.
• Weather delay — Select Full day (8 hours), Half day (4 hours), or Custom to enter specific hours. 8 hours equals 1 full working day. The delay will automatically cascade through your schedule when applied to tasks.
• Crew count — The total number of workers on site that day.
• Visitors — Inspectors, clients, or other non-crew visitors who were on site.
• Work completed — A free-text description of what was accomplished. Be specific: "Completed framing on south wall, installed window headers" is more useful than "framing work."
• Issues / notes — Any problems encountered, safety incidents, inspection results, or general observations.
• Materials delivered — Record deliveries that arrived on site so you have a log for inventory and scheduling.

Calendar Navigation

Use the left and right arrow buttons above the calendar grid to move between months. The current month is shown by default. Days with entries display their colored status dot, making it easy to spot gaps where no log was recorded.
