Add Activities to Daily Log

Progress activities entered in Daily Logs tend to be more general in nature as opposed to scheduling task updates. When entering activities, there are options to categorize by Type (eg. concrete, electrical, plumbing) and Location (eg. lobby, 2nd floor, room 301). Type options are organizational wide and can be established by Admins in Settings | Feature Settings | Documentation | Daily Log Activity Types. Locations are project specific and manually entered.

Unit Price Contracts Note:

Heavy highway and site contractors that have Unit Price contracts should import Unit Price Items into the Activities table since the daily quantities can be summarized for a given date range when creating Prime Contract Invoices.

Fixed Lump Sum Contracts Note:

Contractors that have Fixed Lump Sum contracts can import their Schedule of Values into the Activities table. However, unlike Unit Price contracts the daily quantities can not be copied to a Prime Contract Invoice since it accepts only a currency amount or percent complete for the billing period.
