Sharing a Daily Log/ Site Diary During Creation or Editing
Daily Logs can be shared directly while they are being created or updated.
To do this:
Navigate to the Daily Logs / Site Diary section within a project
Create a new log or open an existing one for editing
Complete the required fields of the log
At the bottom of the form, enable the “Share with Client” option
Click Save
Once saved, the Daily Log is instantly shared with the client, making the update available without any additional steps. At the same time, Buildern automatically sends an email notification to the client, informing them that a new log has been shared.
The email includes a direct access link, allowing the client to open and review the log in a clean, read-only format, without needing to log in or navigate within the platform.
Sharing a Daily Log from the List View
Daily Logs can also be shared after creation directly from the log list.
To share an existing log:
Go to the Daily Logs / Site Diary list view
Locate the required log entry
Click the three-dot (⋯) actions menu at the end of the row
Select
After sharing, the client is automatically notified via email and receives a direct link to access the log in read-only mode - no additional setup is required.
As an alternative, you can use bulk actions to share multiple logs at once. Simply select the relevant logs from the list view, choose the Share option from the bulk edit menu, and apply the changes.
All selected logs will be shared with the client, and notifications will be sent accordingly.
Tracking Shared Logs
To monitor which logs have been shared with clients, use the “Shared with client” column in the Daily Logs list.
Instead of opening each entry individually, you can quickly scan the list to see what has already been shared, helping you stay organized and avoid missing updates.
Adding Watchers to Daily Logs
In addition to client sharing, Daily Logs support internal tracking through Watchers.
Watchers can be added to individual logs to ensure internal stakeholders remain informed.
To add Watchers to a Daily Log:
Go to the Daily Logs / Site Diary list view
Find the required log entry
Click the three-dot (⋯) actions menu at the end of the row
Select Watchers from the dropdown
Choose the users you want to add as Watchers
Once added, Watchers will automatically receive notifications whenever updates are made to the log. This ensures internal stakeholders stay informed in real time, without needing manual updates or follow-ups.
ℹ️ Note - Watchers do not affect client visibility. They are strictly used for internal coordination and progress tracking.
Every project starts with the right tools - and we’ll keep exploring them together in the next videos.
