Maintaining operator logs
You can create and maintain shift logs. Shift log records contain details about shift changeovers, equipment changes, production losses, and near misses that might occur during a shift.
- Record individual log entries and details about shift teams.
- Record the details of operator rounds.
- Use templates to quickly populate shift log records with frequently used data.
- Identify the assets and locations that are associated with a log entry.
- Record an asset or location at the header level of a shift log.
- Record the production parameters that are based on the classification of production activities.
- Review work and planned work on a work asset that might be related to a shift log record.
- Record manual meter readings.
- Review the details for permit to work records to include the ancestor or the child locations that apply to a permit.
- To record loss information, you can create production loss records when you create log entries.
- Review the details for risk assessment records that specify locations, and the details for risk assessment records that are specified on location records. When you review the risk assessment details, you can specify whether you want the review to include the details for child locations and for ancestor locations.
- At the log entry level, from the Location or the Asset field, you can review the details for Bypass Management records that are associated with a log entry.
- Review the history of an operator log, such as the details on status changes.
- Use the Log Book application along with the Operator Log application to collate shift log entries into one log book.

Starting in 9.2, assign inspections to specific individuals or groups to reduce unnecessary downloads of unassigned inspections to mobile devices. New fields in the inspection results identify the assigned owner and owner group for each inspection. The application uses this information to route inspections to the appropriate person. For more information, see Assigning inspections.
