How do I use the daily log/site diary on Buildxact Onsite?

This article explains how to post, comment and upload photos and videos to the daily log/site diary on Buildxact Onsite.

Written by Dan C

New: videos, multiple photos and smarter uploads

You can now add videos to your daily log/site diary posts, upload several photos at once, and uploads keep going in the background. Available on the Pro and Master plans.

The daily log/site diary feature within Buildxact Onsite lets you record daily events and activities in real time. Using daily log/site diary on your preferred mobile device means that you can collaborate and communicate more effectively with builders, site managers and sub-contractors.

The following steps outline how to view, post and comment within the daily log/site diary on Buildxact Onsite.

To view a post:

  1. Click on My Jobs

  2. Select a job

  3. Click on the Site Diary tab

4. From here you can:

  • view posts (they appear in reverse chronological order)

  • scroll up and down the thread

  • click on photos and videos to see them in full-screen view

  • 'Like' photos and videos

  • comment on photos and videos

To add a post:

  1. Click on 'Add a post'

  2. Add a post description. You have the option to add or take photos and videos, and you can select several photos at once. (A post description is required to proceed)

  3. Review your post

  4. Click 'Post'

All crew members invited to the job can now view, like and comment on your daily log/site diary posts.

Note: posts can only be deleted from within the Buildxact web app.

Uploading photos and videos on site

Uploads keep going in the background, so you can keep using the app (or your phone) while your photos and videos upload. If you lose signal, the upload will pick up again once you're back on a better connection, so there's no need to start again.
