The Journal Report in Pegasus is generally used as a flexible report. Organizations use the Journal Report to log their own work and time on days they are not on the job site with a contractor. They can also be used by project managers/engineers to log misc. information.

Use these reports as-needed. Typical usage includes involvement with a project before actual construction starts and weather/off days.
