Editing Logbook Entries

We all know mistakes happen. Learn how to edit your logbook to make sure you have made accurate entries before locking your shift

Updated over a week ago

As long as you are in an open shift you are able to edit details of that shift record. This includes:

  • the time/date (so long as it is in chronological order)

  • the location

  • the odometer value of the vehicle driven (as long as it is greater than the previous entry)

  • comments attached to the record

You can edit any of these fields either:

  1. At the time of making the entry

  2. After the fact as long as the shift is NOT locked

Edit At Time Of Entry

  • Time & Date: Long hold down on the time and date field and then move the slider to the correct time/date. Red or orange text may appear under the field to help give you guidance on whether the time you have put is valid.

  • Location: Press on the location icon next to the location field to load additional location options. If none of these are suitable you can also type directly in the location text box.

  • Odometer: Backspace the displayed value and type in the correct one (if you need to enter an odometer less than the value displayed you need to edit the vehicle record itself)

Edit After The Fact

If you have already saved an entry but need to change some details you can, so long as your shift is NOT locked! This can be done in two ways:

  1. By clicking on the Logbook icon in the bottom navigation bar

  2. While "reviewing" your shift

  • Once you are on the logbook page long hold on the entry which you want to edit.

  • You can then edit the fields like you would at the time of an entry (shown above)

Modifications

All modifications to entries in your Logmate electronic logbook will be recorded for auditing purposes and highlighted so that the change is clearly identifiable.

The original data values are also stored and included in the Shift Modifications' log for auditing purposes.

Pro tip: When you are satisfied that your electronic logbook entry is true and accurate you can review and lock your shift. After the required rest period you will be able to start your next shift.
