Workflow

eLog Workflow

This workflow describes how the eLog Administrator defines shifts, data entry forms, and templates for an eLog Analyst to manage shifts and generate shift reports. To ensure consistency in how shifts are managed, shifts should be based on templates whenever possible.

In the following workflow diagram, the blue text in a shape indicates that the corresponding description has been provided in the sections that follow the diagram. For more information, refer to the Interpreting the Workflow Diagrams topic in the APM Product Workflows documentation.
