Introduction

Daily logs are an essential project record; if not well documented, they can lead to disputes and inaccurate contractor payments.

Dashpivot's daily log app and software improve site productivity and build bulletproof work records through digital daily logs. These quick, easy, and powerful daily logs allow you to efficiently capture and record job site activity details.

All your daily log entries are automatically sent to a secure cloud, organised chronologically, and instantly converted into a register as needed. The photos and videos captured with the Dashpivot app are stored, accessible, and easily searchable, providing you with reliable project records.

Dashpivot streamlines your daily logging processes, improving collaboration and keeping projects on track.

Daily logs in Dashpivot

Key features:

  • Easily record daily conditions, and summaries of labour, equipment and material. Document any problems or delays directly on your phone or tablet.

  • Organise your report records in chronological order, with quick search and filtering

  • Clone yesterdays log, and modify whats changed today

  • Automatically convert all your daily logs to a register, to view information from multiple reports at once

  • Download, print or send your reports as PDFs, with professional layout and company branding

Best Practices

  • Include a photos field in the template. With Dashpivot all photos taken with the app record who took it, where it was taken, date and time stamp, descriptions and comments.

  • Use list dropdowns in your table fields by selecting the "list" option in the template builder. Dropdowns standardise the way you capture information, eliminate spelling mistakes, limit the options and are faster to fillout.

  • In the template settings, make sure to display relevant information (eg. project name, or date) so that records can be identified quickly

  • In the template settings, make sure the forms are sorted by the date on the form (and not by the creation date)
