2.4.1 Register — overview & key concepts

The Register module replaces physical site registers with a digital, auditable system where every register log is tracked. Covers the roles, key concepts (Template, Log, Entry, Details & Table sections, special field types), and the Draft to Live to Archive template lifecycle.

Overview

The Register module replaces physical site registers with a digital, configurable, and auditable system. Every register log is tracked with who filled it, their team, and a timestamp. Typical registers: Concrete Pour Register, Material Received Register, Concrete Cube Register, Safety Register, Training Register, Drawing Register, and more.

🧭 How to use

Key concepts

Concept

What it means

Template

The structure of a register — the fields in its Details and Table sections. Created by the System Admin.

Log

One complete submission — the Details section filled once + one or more Table rows.

Entry

One row in the Table section — e.g. one concrete batch, one delivery.

Details section

Header fields filled once per log — e.g. Grade, Location, Pour Date.

Table section

Multi-row data — filled many times per log; each row is one Entry.

Field types

A template is built from these field types:

The template lifecycle

A register template moves Draft → Live → Archive:

Status

What it means

Draft

Template being designed — no one can fill it yet.

Live

Available for filling. The template can still be edited and updated (add/remove fields).

Archive

Closed for new entries; all historical logs kept for view/export. Cannot return to Live.

Individual logs have their own status — Draft, Approval Pending, Redo, Approved — covered in "Register approvals — seek approval, redo & levels".

❓ FAQ

1. What is a register?

A digital replacement for a physical site register — configurable and auditable, where every log is stamped with user, team, and time.

2. What's the difference between a Log and an Entry?

A Log is one complete submission (Details filled once + Table rows). An Entry is a single row in the Table section of that log.

3. Who can create or edit a register?

Only the System Admin. A Project Admin cannot create or edit a register template — but they can fill it.

4. Who can fill a register?

Inspectors and Project Admins, once the register is Live.

What are the Calculation, Nomenclature and EQC Link field types?

Calculation auto-computes from numeric fields. Nomenclature links the log to the project location hierarchy plus a free-text Variable. EQC Link connects the log to inspection EQCs. Calculation works in both sections; Nomenclature and EQC Link are Details-only.

What can an Auditor do?

View and export logs and comment on the web — but not fill or approve.

💡 Good to know

  • Only the System Admin creates, edits, publishes, and archives a register.

  • A register must be Live before anyone can fill it — and a Live template can still be edited/updated.

  • Once a log is Approved, it is permanently non-editable — by anyone.

  • Team Access users see only their own team's logs; Project Access users see all teams' logs.

  • Nomenclature and EQC Link are Details-only field types.
