Create a Site Event
Create new Site Events to record activities in the Site Diary. Site events capture important information such as work progress, site discussions, observations, weather impacts, safety incidents, and other project-related activities.
All site diary information is automatically synchronized with Virtual Superintendent, where it is available on the Events and Reports pages.
