Record Working Hours of Your Own Employees
Your own employees are entered under “Time Tracking.” To add a new employee name, a new role, or a new company name, enter the respective designations in the relevant fields and confirm the entry by pressing Enter. Then enter the corresponding working hours. To delete individual persons, use the three dots on the right edge of the entries.
Note: Break times are recorded by entering two separate time blocks, e.g., 7:00 AM–12:00 PM and 12:30 PM–3:30 PM (= 8 working hours).
Record Working Hours of Subcontractors
Times for subcontractors can be recorded either at the individual level (one entry per subcontractor employee) or at the company level (one entry per subcontractor company).
Record Completed Tasks and Remarks
Tasks can be entered manually. Checked tasks serve as a guide but are not exported in the construction report. Remarks and special occurrences can also be entered manually.
Note: If you mark areas in the plans, the tasks will be displayed according to the marked areas.
Record Weather Information
Weather information is automatically adopted if an address is stored in the project's basic data (→ Edit Basic Data see 🔷Create New Project). However, you can also adjust this manually if the automatically recorded weather information does not match the actual weather.
Add Photos and Signature
Photos can be attached to the construction logbook viaAdd Photo. Photos must be saved locally on the laptop or mobile device. A digital signature can also be added. You must save this in advance as an image file (.jpeg or .png) on the laptop or mobile device.

Once you have entered all information, you can save the construction report via Save at the top of the page. You can navigate to the next day using the arrow buttons at the top of the page to create another entry.
