Creating a Diary Entry

Who can use this feature?

Contributors on the diary template and project admins can create Diary Entries.

A Diary Entry is where you log your day's work. Once created, contributors can add content to the Diary Entry. The Diary Entry workflow is the same whether you're using the mobile or web app, though the interface differs slightly. If you are using a mobile, see our Mobile Diary Guide.

Before you can create Diary Entries, you will need to Create a Diary.

To create a new Diary Entry:

• Navigate to the Diary Entries section and click

• Select which Diary you want to create an entry for, or create a new diary

• Select the diary entry date

• Select the Shift Start and End time from the dropdown

• Click

Diary Entry Creation Rules

• When you create an entry, these details are locked and cannot be changed:

  • Template: Which Diary Template this entry belongs to

  • Date: The calendar date this entry covers

  • Shift: The working period (Day, Afternoon, Night, All)

• Diary Entry names follow a standard format: [Diary Name]-[Shift]-[Date]. You cannot change this format.
