Create and use logbooks

Operational events alongside your checklists

Logbooks belong to the selected project. Use them for events, measurements, issues and offset registers alongside your checklists. For restricted accounts, read Use vessel-specific logbooks; that separate portal has no offline queue.

Work in the log table

Open Admin → Logs, or Logs in the browser. Choose a book and section. Scroll within the rows or across columns; headings and controls remain visible. All columns shows every field. Open an event for its full details.

LOG ON is green and LOG OFF is red. New day entries use a warm highlight; a DNP marker stays explicit. Line status uses green for Completed, yellow for Partial and red for Not Attempted. The event/status text remains visible: colours do not control equipment, approve a run or certify work.

Create, enter and correct

1. On the PC, open Logbook setup → Log Builder wizard to select sections and fields. Review and create an empty logbook. Set up offset tables adds missing standard registers to an older logbook.
2. Choose Add entry. On the phone/browser, LOG ON and LOG OFF prefill an event form only; review its actual UTC time and values, then Save to hub. Nothing is submitted by the shortcut alone. The signed-in account identifies the author; no surveyor initials are required.
3. Select a saved row before choosing View / correct or History. The author or an authorised supervisor/administrator can correct it with a reason; earlier values remain in History. Voiding does not erase an entry. Source initials remain separate from the importer.

Filters and automatic updates

Entries are newest first. Filters opens over the table without shrinking it. Apply search/dates, then Close filters. Clear UTC dates to include unconfirmed times. Routine updates retain scrolling and forms; desktop Refresh keeps the selected section and page. Another logbook, deliberate navigation or a full reload can start a fresh view.

Open Logbook details & source notes separately. On a phone or short window, swipe the action bar sideways for the remaining commands; Add entry and LOG ON/OFF remain at the start.

For imported equipment pages, use References → Review selected. Releasing a page controls team access; it is not engineering approval.

Assign Issues through the user/department selector. Recipients follow Assigned to me; assignment does not grant edit permission.

Use Expand view or Open separate window to keep the log visible while working elsewhere. Section legends are contextual; read Expand a log and keep another window open for independent drafts and recovery.
