What are Logs?
Logs record and track all operational actions that take place on your sites — including handovers, scaffold activities, upcoming dismantles, and completed dismantles.
Every log serves as a permanent record, creating full audit-traceability for safety, compliance, and operational reporting.
Purpose
Logs provide a single source of truth for scaffold activity across your company.
You can use logs to:
Track work completed on every scaffolded site
Review safety checks, inspections, approvals, and signatures
Generate certified documents for clients and auditors
Provide proof of work for billing, safety compliance, and handover requirements
Ensure accountability — each record is tied to a verified user account
All log activity is synced across your organization and visible to users with the correct permissions.

Understanding How Logs Work
Whenever work is completed in Cloudscaff, building a scaffold, issuing a handover, inspecting a scaffold, scheduling a dismantle, or completing a dismantle, the corresponding log automatically updates.
Logs are used to:
Store historical data permanently
Export data for further analysis
Download documents for reference purposes
Feed reporting dashboards
Trigger notifications for upcoming, overdue, or failed items
Support audit and compliance requirements
Logs cannot be bypassed or deleted by accident. All entries are time-stamped and assigned to the responsible user.
Search and Filters
All logs use the same standard Cloudscaff table controls:
Search
Type at least 3 characters to filter results
The clear (×) icon resets results to show the full list
Pagination & Row Selector
Use pagination to view additional pages
Use “Rows per page” to expand how many entries display on screen
Download Documents from Logs
Certain logs allow for the downloading of certified documents:
Handovers Log
Handover Certificate
Scaffold Log
Handover Certificate & Inspection Certificate
Dismantle Log
Dismantle Certificate
Each Log has a Download Document action inside the record detail.
Role Permissions
