Edit a Log Entry
Users will either be able to edit all Log Entries or just their own entries, based on the preferences set by power users who built out their Location's Logbook. By default, users are only able to edit their own entries. Depending on the permissions set, there may be limited editing abilities.
Regardless of whether Users can edit their own or all Log Entries, users can edit an entry simply by navigating to the Log Entries page and clicking into the desired Log Entry. This will open the entry in a sidesheet, where any details can be updated and then saved by clicking the Save button.
To delete an entry, click the trash can icon
listed next to the Save button and confirm its deletion from the confirmation message that appears.
Log Entries that the user cannot edit will be marked as Locked in the top-right corner of the Log Entry.
Enter Log Entry Comments
Once a Log Entry is initially saved, Users can return to the Log Entry and leave comments about the details entered in the Comments section. Click here to learn how to enter Log Entry comments.
