How to create a Daily Log in Pegasus

Creating A Daily Log

Select your project from the My Projects page, navigate to the Field Reports page.

Click the blue Create button.

Select the Daily Log option from the Template drop down.

Select the Report's Date.

Select the Save button.

Your Daily Log will automatically open as a draft once you hit save. It will also appear in the Field Reports grid as a Draft. Select the record in the grid to Open the report from the side blade widget and begin filling it out.

Environment Conditions

Use the Environment Conditions section on your Daily Log to record the ambient air temperature, weather conditions, ground type, and moisture condition.

After you've Opened your Daily Log, locate the Environment Conditions section (beneath the Report Details section).

Select the Add button.

Enter the Time Recorded, Air Temp (degrees Fahrenheit), Weather Condition, Ground Type, and Ground Condition from the side blade widget.

Select the Save button.

Congratulations! You've added an Environment Condition record and it will now display in the grid. Select the record to Edit fields or Remove the record entirely. Use the Save & New button to quickly add multiple entries.

You can add as many Environment Condition entries as needed. It is a best practice to add at least two record entries - one AM and one PM. This information is valuable as you can filter and reference reports based on ground and weather conditions.

Description of Work

The Description of Work on the Daily Log is used as a detailed narrative of job site activities, work performed, work completed by the contractor, special problems and resolutions, etc. Include location, starting and stopping points, house numbers. Descriptions should be noted for each contractor working on site.

Locate the Description of Work section on the Daily Log.

Begin typing your description. This section will auto-save periodically as you type. It is a best practice to click the Save button to save your information.

Workforce

The Workforce section on the Daily Log is where you log the total number of a contractor's employees working on the job site that day.

Locate the Workforce section on the Daily Log (beneath the Description of Work).

Select the Add button.

From the side blade widget enter the Contractor, Employee Name, Total Hours, and optionally any Notes you want to add.

Select the Save button. Your entry will now display in the grid.

PRO TIP: Use the Save And New button to quickly add multiple entries or records.

Equipment

The Equipment section of the Daily Log is used for logging the equipment type and quantity of all pieces of construction equipment and vehicles engaged in the work performed on this report date. You can add specific make and model numbers or use general entries (i.e. Excavator vs. Cat 320 Excavator).

Locate the Equipment section on the Daily Log (beneath the Workforce section).

Select the Add button.

From the side blade widget enter the Equipment Name, Time Active, Time Idle, and optionally any Notes for the equipment record.

Select the Add button.

From the side blade widget enter the Material, Unit of Measure, Quantity, and any Notes you want to include for the record (Optional).

Select the Save button. Your entry will now display in the grid.

Pay Items

The Pay Items section of the Daily Log is extremely important if tracking contract line items on your project. This is where the Contractor's bid tab will be displayed for users to log pay items that have been installed, how much has been installed, and the location of the installation.

Locate the Pay Items section on the Daily Log (beneath the Material section).

Select the Add button

Select a Bid Item from the drop down menu.

NOTE: If this drop down menu is blank and there has been a bid tab uploaded to your project, the bid tab needs to be locked from the Project Settings page in order for items to be displayed and reported against. Contact your account Admin or Owner for help.

After selecting the Pay Item, enter the Quantity amount, Location, and any additional Notes pertaining to this entry.
