Article summary

This is a part of the New Manager Log in the Smart Ops Release. Click here to learn more about a New Manager Log.

Log Entries help to track and communicate important details within an organization. The Log Entries page provides insights into key aspects of each Log Entry for a selected date range by displaying their category, priority status, and tags, among others descriptors. New Log Entries can also be created directly from this page.

Once Log Entries are saved, a Comments section will appear at the bottom of each entry when it is reopened. This enables users to communicate about and track the development of a specific topic.


Security

Log Entries Permissions are found in the Permission Tree as follows:

  • Manager Log Smart Ops

    • Log Entries

These permissions can be added to custom user roles or individual users. The Permission Access report can be used to determine which user roles or users already have these permissions assigned. For more information, see User Setup and Security.

Log Entries Transferred from the Classic Manager Log 

All historical Log Entries dictated as notes, unless that note is in response to a task, will be transferred to the Log Entries page. When selecting Note as the Log Entry in the Classic Manager Log, it will navigate users to the Log Entries page, where the note can be entered.

With this migration, it is important to note the following:

  • Mobile App. Note entries will be disabled on the R365 Classic App. Instead, notes can be entered as Log Entries in the R365 Red App.

  • Flagged Entries. Historical notes that were flagged will display a 'Must Read' priority label on the Log Entries page.

  • Linked To Types. Historical notes that were linked to an Employee Record or the Daily Sales Summary will be entered as an 'Employee' or 'Sales Notes' Category, respectively. The Accounting Transactions, Fixed Asset, and Catering Event Linked to Types have been disabled. Historical Notes will appear as Log Entries but will not link to any other records in the system.

  • Custom Categories. For this initial release, custom categories will not be available. Rather, custom categories saved in the Classic Manager Log at the time of this release (February 2022) will be saved as tags. Any entries made under a custom category will be saved as an 'Uncategorized' Log Entry and include the custom category tag(s).

  • Log Entry Comments. Any comments made on a Log Entry will be listed in order of posting rather than in the parent/child structure used in the Classic Manager Log, which is demonstrated below. Historical Log Entries will include up to 5 historical notes saved on a Log Entry.
