In the next screen those entries awaiting review are grouped by section. Check the box located to the left of each entry then click Approve Entries.

Disagreements can and do happen. If the KBD Group employee disagrees with an entry it is still necessary to approve it as written. Clarification as to why there is a disagreement is to be placed in the Daily Construction Report section.

Once all entries have been reviewed & accepted the next step is to complete the day. This locks in the entries preventing edits and/or late responses.

Locate the banner along the bottom of the screen.

Check the box then click either Complete Only or Complete & Distribute.

Complete Only simply closes the day while Complete & Distribute will do the same but also send out notification to those in the distribution list for the Daily Logs tool.
