Daily Logs

Create daily update logs to track weather conditions, labor metrics, progress notes, and photos. Users on your project are able to create, update, and publish multiple logs for each day of the project, if necessary.

Only the current and past dates can be edited in the daily logs. General Notes can be added to future dates. Daily logs can be continually edited while they're in progress, but can only be reopened for editing within one day of publishing or by a project administrator.

One day after a log is published it can only be reopened by a project administrator.
