+====== Creating and Setting Up a Diary ======
+{{youtube>zKdiW74IGV8?medium}}
-An unlimited number of diaries can be used on each project. Especially on large construction projects, it can be useful to use separate diaries for each construction part (subproject). For project general information the main project diary is used in this case.
-Important subcontractors can run their own independent diaries. Some special construction works may demand separate diaries too. Buildary makes all these options easy to manage.
+\\ Each construction site can have any number of diaries. Especially on large construction sites, separate diaries are maintained for each building object. Shared information at the construction-site level is then recorded in what is known as the central Project Diary. In practice, it is also common for major subcontractors to maintain their own Project Diaries. Sometimes it is appropriate to maintain separate diaries for certain special types of work that require this due to their nature. The **Buildary** application can easily handle all of these scenarios.
 <WRAP info>
-If you have a proven system how to divide your project into diaries, there is no reason to change it. Buildary will support the way of work you are used to.
+If you already have a proven system for structuring diaries on your construction sites, there is no reason to change it. Buildary supports it.

-Once you have filled in and saved the data in the New diary window, you can edit this information by selecting "Diary Information", "Diary title page" section. In this window, it is possible to select the ** Title page image ** of the diary. You can choose from the three default options, or you can upload your own image. There are recommended dimensions stated, but the image will be adjusted if it doesn't meet exactly the size.
+For diaries of the following types:
-** Left and Right Logo ** can be set for the diary. For newly created diaries, the left logo is taken from the domain settings, and the right logo is filled by Buildary.online default. An example can be seen in the picture. We recommend using white-coloured logos with a transparent background (eg. in png format).
+  * Project Diary /part of construction site/ (i.e. building-object diary)
+  * Subcontractor Diary
+  * Special Works Diary
+additional information must be entered, such as **Construction Site Section Name**, **Short Construction Site Section Name**, and **Construction Site Section Number**. The meaning of these fields is clear from their names.
+The **Parent Diary** field allows you to create a hierarchical relationship between two diaries. This relationship then allows data to be copied from relevant subordinate diaries (see [[en:diary:copysubcontractors|Copying Entries from Subcontractor Diaries and Construction Site Section Diaries]]).

-===== Diary setup =====
-Before you start to enter data into the diary, it is a good idea to customize the diary settings to suit your needs the best. The diary is divided into daily report sections and the content of each section can be set up individually. If there are more diaries on the project, they can be set up in different ways.
+\\ ===== Diary Settings =====
+Before entering data into the diary, it is advisable to configure it so that its contents best meet your needs. Diary settings primarily affect the content of daily entries.

-The window contains data entered and explained in the diary creating help part. At the bottom part of the window, you can change the order of the diary sections using the arrows icons. The order changes for both the screen and the daily report in a PDF file.
-<WRAP clear />
+**Time Limit for Signature ** - specifies the time in minutes for which a Daily Entry or Other Entry will be temporarily locked after the **Download for Signing** function is initiated. The temporary lock ends either with a permanent lock (i.e. by signing the entry or uploading the electronically signed entry back into the application) or when the configured time expires and the entry returns to its active state. A file uploaded after the time limit has expired will be rejected.
-==== Weather ====
+**Number of Signature fields** - specifies the number of signature fields at the end of the entry being signed. According to common practice, the daily report is signed by the Site Manager and the Technical Supervision Representative (TDS), so two signature fields are configured by default. The number can be changed as needed.

-In this tab, you set the hours you want to record the weather data. The default values are 6,12,18. You can add more hours by pressing +, or remove the hours by pressing the x button.
-The daily report will generate a data row for each hour.
+**Working Hours** - the contents of this field are automatically inserted into the note in the Labour section when the first entry is added to this section. The note can be edited for individual days.
+**Working Day Hours** - determines the number of working hours that will be offered by default for Labour and Plants in the Hours field.
-** Field Settings ** offers the maximum list of fields you can fill in in the Weather section. By default, they are all set to ** Standard field **, so all fields will be visible in the diary. If you want to reduce the number of data, select ** Hidden field **. To ensure that the field is always filled in, set it to ** Required field **.
+**Other Entries Signature Check** - this field is checked by default and means that a day cannot be locked without signatures for all entries made by other people in the Other Entries section.
+**Attendance Import** - this section is displayed only if the domain is connected to an electronic attendance system. You can then select the relevant terminal at the given construction site and, if necessary, filter the subcontractor diaries so that they include only people belonging to the given subcontractor.
+**Section Order** - allows you to change the order of sections according to your requirements.

-<WRAP clear />
+**Entry Timestamp** - displays the time when an entry was created and highlights entries created after the statutory deadline. It defines whether and how the entry timestamp should be displayed, with three options:
+**Hide** = Do not display at all
+**Show** = Simply display the date and time when the entry was created or last modified
+**Required** = In addition to displaying the date and time, the icon for entries created after the statutory deadline is visually highlighted and the number of hours by which the statutory deadline was exceeded is displayed.
+<WRAP info>The statutory deadline is 48 hours, excluding days marked as "Non-Working" (up to a maximum of 2 days). Entries created or edited after this limit are marked with a red exclamation-mark icon. Hovering over the icon displays the date, time, and number of hours beyond the statutory deadline.</WRAP>
 <WRAP tip >
-If you change any data, save it with the ** Save ** button. Each tab is saved separately.
+If you change any setting, save it using the **Save** button. **Each tab must be saved separately.**

+<WRAP clear />
-If you want to change the settings in multiple diaries in the same way, make a change to one of them, save it, and then use the "Copy the settings to other diaries" button {{cs:diary:btn_copy.png?nolink|Copy the settings to other diaries}} to copy the settings to the selected diaries. A list of diaries will be provided, in which you can tick the ones you want to copy the current diary settings into.
+\\ ==== Individual Section Tabs - Specific Information ====
+=== Weather ===
+**Weather entry hours** - In this tab, you set the full-hour times at which you want weather data to be retrieved. The default values are 6:00, 12:00, and 18:00. You can add additional times using the code list by clicking the selected time, or remove a time from the selected hours using the x button. A row containing weather data will then be generated for each selected hour in the daily entries.
+**Siotech Sensor** - enter the device ID in this field if you use an autonomous Siotech temperature sensor (see [[en:diary:sensors|Digital Sensors]]).
+=== Works Performed and Other Entries ===
+In the Works Performed section, you can also enter records using budget items. To do this, you need to have the Project's budget uploaded, set the **Item Description** field to Show, and select the entire construction site or a specific part of it in the **Cost estimate items filtration** field.
+**Location** - displays a map showing the location to which the entry relates. The coordinates are loaded automatically from GPS (location services must be enabled on a mobile device), or the user can determine the location by clicking on the map. When the coordinates are loaded, the time at which they were obtained from GPS is also saved.
+**Plan** - allows a drawing to be displayed for an entry and a marker to be placed on it by clicking on the location to which the diary entry relates. To use this function, plans of the construction site must first be uploaded to the Project Sections and Plans code list.
+<WRAP tip >
+If you have a larger number of construction sites in Buildary and the default settings do not meet your needs, you can create one or more Project Templates where you can define your own template diary settings. A Project Template is created by a user with Domain Administration permissions.
