Log Entry Type Records

About Log Entry Type Records

Log entry type records are used to:
  • Define the types of log entries for the sub families of the eLog Entry family.
  • Assign colors to log entry types.
  • Differentiate the log entries in the Shift Summary page based on color.

In the Shift Log workspace, when a log entry is created for a given log entry type, the log entry appears in the color that you have assigned to the log entry type in the associated log entry type record.

The Log Entry Type workspace in the eLog Administrator page contains the baseline log entry type records.
