# Log Entries (Mobile)

In the R365 app, log entries can created directly from the [Logbook screen](/doc/docs/r365-red-app-manager-log-overview), or from the [Create menu](/doc/docs/mobile-create-menu). When creating an entry, required fields will be listed based on the parameters set in the location’s [logbook](/doc/docs/logbook-overview-security) category settings. Once saved, all users with access to the log entry will be able to leave [comments](/doc/docs/r365-red-app-log-entry-comments).

> This article covers the mobile version of the logbook. For information on the web version of logbook, see [create log entries](/doc/docs/log-entries-create-and-edit-a-log-entry).
