How to use the logbook

This article explains how you can use the logbook to keep your team up to date with relevant information.

Updated over a week ago

The logbook is a tool you and your employees (depending on your permissions) can use to reflect on today and prepare for tomorrow.

Throughout the day, your team can share entries such as "we ran out of milk" or "perhaps we should start offering oat milk, several request this" to keep everyone informed of daily operations, problems, and ideas.

So whether you run one business or oversee multiple locations, our logbook feature allows you to stay on top of what's going on. Even when you're not around.


​Finding the logbook

You can open the logbook by clicking on a date in the schedule view, both on desktop and mobile.

Or add a shortcut to the data bar under the schedule via the eye icon on the right side.

Configuring your logbook

Once you've clicked on '📝 logbook', you will be able to create and/or change your sections by clicking on the settings icon '⚙️' in the top right corner.

From here, you can adjust the names of the sections, select in which departments they apply, reorganize the order, or add/delete the sections.

Using the logbook

Once your logbook is ready, you can start using it. When you open the log, you can click on a section to leave an entry. Anyone with the admin access level or a permission profile with access to the logbook enabled can view the logbook entries and add new entries themselves. It's also possible to leave multiple entries in one section.


Receive logbook entries by email

Workfeed's email reporting feature allows you to receive all logbook entries and important data in your mailbox at the end of each day or the morning after. Click on the blue button in the top right corner of the day to set it up.
