About Shift Summary

A Shift summary contains the following information:
  • Assignments: Tasks that are automatically created for a Shift based on eLog Templates. Depending on eLog Role Configuration records, they are directed to the Team Members assigned to the Shift. This information appears in the My Assignments workspace in the Shift Summary page.
  • Log entries: Auditable record of activities conducted by Team Members assigned to a Shift. This information appears in the Shift Log workspace in the Shift Summary page.
  • Sign-in and sign-out logs: Records that are automatically created each time a Team Member signs in to the Shift or signs out of the Shift. The records show the time when the Team Member signed in to the Shift and signed out of the Shift. This information appears in the Shift Sign-In/Out Log workspace in the Shift Summary page.
