Shortcuts are buttons that display at the top of your Log which you can click to quickly and easily add comments. Shortcuts create consistency in your logging, and also make it easy to search your logs and find exactly what you are looking for. 


There are two options when creating shortcuts:

1. Create shortcuts on specific Logs

2. Create default shortcuts for the Project, which will be applied to all new logs.


Create Shortcuts on a Log

You can create unique shortcuts for different Logs by setting up your shortcuts when you create the Log. You can also add shortcuts to an existing Log by editing the Log settings. You can save these shortcuts as the Project default if you want to.

1. Open the Card you wish to create a Log for, and click the three dotsin the top-right corner. Then select "New Log".

The "Add Log to Card" dialog will open. 

2. Enter the following details:

Name: Enter a relevant name for your Log. 

Date: Defaults to today. You can change the date by clicking the calendar icon on the right.

Timezone: Defaults to the Project's timezone (as per Project Settings). You can edit the Log timezone by clicking in the field and selecting the relevant timezone.

Shortcuts: You can create shortcuts which will display as buttons at the top of your Log. This allows you to simply click the buttons to quickly add a comment. It allows for consistency of comments so you can easily find what you are looking for. You can also filter your log by shortcuts.

Enter the name of your first Shortcut, and give it a colour (optional). 

Click "+" button to add additional Shortcuts.

Save as default Shortcuts: You have the option to only create the shortcuts for this Log, or to select "Save as default Shortcuts". Saving as default will save the shortcuts to the Project, so they will be at the top of every Log created for the Project. Default shortcuts can still be edited at any time.


3. Click "Add & Open" to start logging.


Create Default Shortcuts for the Project

Another way to create your default shortcuts is in Project Settings. 


1. Click your avatar on the bottom-left to see the User menu.

2. Select "Project Settings".

3. Scroll down on the Project Settings page until you see the "Logs Feature". If Logs are not already enabled, slide the toggle to "Enabled".

4. Click the downward arrow to expand the Logs Feature.

5. Enter the name of your first Shortcut, and give it a colour (optional). 

6. Click the "+" button to add additional Shortcuts.

7. Click "Save".

When you add a new Log it will have these shortcuts by default. 


You can edit your default shortcuts in Project Settings at any time, and the changes will apply to all new Logs.


Add Shortcuts to an existing Log

1. Open the Log, then click the three dots in the top-right corner, and select "Edit Log". 

2. From here you can edit the Log's Name, Date, select or deselect Cameras, and edit the Shortcuts. To edit Shortcuts or Cameras, click the downward arrow to expand the section, and edit as desired.

3. Click "Save".

Note, any shortcut changes made here will only impact this specific Log. If you want to edit the default shortcuts for all future Logs, go to Project Settings --> Logs Feature.
