StepTaskNote
1

If needed, create a subfamily for the eLog Entry family to store the information that you want to record.

The subfamily inherits the fields from the eLog Entry family. You can add fields as needed.
Important: Fields inherited from the eLog Entry family should not be modified.
Note: If you want the data related to the additional fields (that is, the fields you may have added) to appear in the Shift Log workspace in the Shift Summary page, modify the Get All Log Entries query such that the data appears in the Log Text field of the log entry.

This step is required only if the baseline eLog Entry family does not contain the information that you want to record.

2

Review the eLog data model to determine which relationship definitions you will need to include the custom families or subfamilies. Via Configuration Manager, modify the relationship definitions as needed.

This step is required only if:
  • You store equipment and location information in families other than the baseline Equipment and Functional Location families.

    or

  • You have created families or subfamilies.
3

Assign Security Users to one or more of the eLog Security Groups or Roles.

This step is required.
