Deploy eLog for the First Time

The following table outlines the steps that you must complete to deploy and configure this module for the first time. These instructions assume that you have completed the steps for deploying the basic GE Digital APM system architecture.

These tasks may be completed by multiple people in your organization. We recommend, however, that the tasks be completed in the order in which they are listed.

Note: If you are deploying this module in APM Now, before you begin completing these tasks, review the system requirements for this module to identify the supported features for this module in APM Now. Unless noted, all deployment tasks in the following table are applicable for the deployment of this module in APM Now.

Step	Task	Notes
1	If needed, create Log Entry subfamilies to store the information that you want to log.	This step is required only if the baseline Log Entry family does not contain all the information that you want to document.
2	Review the eLog data model to determine which relationship definitions you will need to add to include your custom Log Entry subfamilies, or to store your classified data in custom subfamilies. Via Configuration Manager, modify any relationship definitions as needed. When you create a Log Entry subfamily, all fields from the Log Entry family will be inherited automatically. You can then create additional family fields as necessary. IMPORTANT: Fields inherited from the Log Entry family should not be modified.	This step is required only if you store information in families other than the baseline Log Entry family.
3	Assign Security Users to one or more of the eLog Security Groups or Roles.	This step is required.
4	Create Shift records to assign Shifts to your log entries.	This step is required.
