The Manager Log is an internal communications tool that allows a User to add Tasks, Events, Messages, Staffing Notes, and Log Entries. This module works in conjunction with the Employee Data Module (EDM), the Event Management Module, and the Labor Scheduling Module.


Each page of the Manager Log represents a day, and any information on that page relates to that particular date.

Manager Log Sections


The Manager Log includes the following sections for recording important information for the day:



Tasks Section



The 'Tasks' section allows a User to create a Task for themselves or for other Manager Log Users. Learn more about creating and completing Manager Log Tasks here. 



Events Section



The 'Events' section allows a User to create a single- or multi-day event within the Manager Log module. The 'Events' section works in conjunction with the Event Management, Employee Data (EDM), and Labor Scheduling modules. Most federal holidays are automatically created by default. Learn more about creating Manager Log Events here. 


Messages Section



The 'Messages' section allows a User to create and respond to basic messages for Manager Log Users. A message will only show on the Manager Log for the day on which it was created. Learn more about creating and replying to Manager Log Messages here. 



Staffing Section



The 'Staffing' section allows a User to record any desired staffing notes. Staffing notes can be used to track both good and poor employee performance. Learn more about creating staffing notes here. 



Log Entries Section



The 'Log Entries' section allows a User to enter date-specific notes. Log Entries can be entered as stand-alone notes or connected to existing Manager Log Tasks. Learn more about creating Log Entries here.



Uploading Files


Many of the Manager Log sections provide an option to upload files. 


The following file types can be uploaded: doc, docx, zip, xls, xlsx, ppt, pptx, gif, jpg, jpeg, png, rtf, txt, and pdf. There is a 10 MB limit to each file and a total limit of 3 GB for all documents across the entire database.


Basic details for the files uploaded to the Manager Log can also be viewed in the Key Info File Manager. The uploaded files are stored in the 'OML Files' folder. If needed, uploaded files can be downloaded from the File Manager. 

  • Note: Files cannot be deleted from the File Manager and can only be deleted individually from the Manager Log that they are associated with.
