Below are the notable changes to the project's Site Diary tool in 2018.
Updated the Weather section of the Site Diary to make it easier to reference the weather for a project. Additionally, we added the ability to create multiple observed weather condition entries for a day.
Improved the user experience for File Attachments on the Site Diary tool. The Attach Files label now turns ORANGE when users hover of it with a mouse cursor. Also moved the Submit and Cancel buttons to the left.
Added new contextual placeholders so end users can better select site diary entries referring to the selected item. Also added an "Add comment" placeholder to all comment text inputs.
Added a persistent Delete column to the Site Diary. Now when you scroll across the page, the Delete column will remain as the last column.
Moved the sidebar buttons in the Site Diary tool to the top of the page.
On all registers that have a Code Code field, cost codes will display the full cost code number and name.
Users can now create equipment within the log instead of having to go to the Admin tool. See Create Equipment Register Entries.

Made the following minor updates to the Site Diary tool's timepicker:

The Site Diary Completion report will now show all days, regardless if that day has been visited or not. Additionally, we have added in a Day of the Week column and Missing Day Column.
Moved reports, filters, action buttons and search to the top of the Site Diary page and removed the sidebar for most clients. If a project has enabled Related To, then the sidebar will still persist.
Modernised the Site Diary's UI. No Functionality changes.
Admin users will now be able to run a report (via Reporting tool) allowing them to see the data important to them for understanding site diary completion. See View Site Diary Completion Report
Added a new 'Set Working hours Log Hours to Zero on Copy' option to the Project level Site Diary Tool's Configure Settings page. The default setting for the option is OFF. When enabled, the setting ensures that when a user copies over Working hours Logs, the value in the Hours and Workers fields is set to zero (0) (instead of showing the value from the the previous day).
