2.1 How to Log Progress Updates

Record the work completed for a Progress Activity on a specific date. Add the quantity completed, attach supporting files, and tag the manpower or equipment used so your team has a complete record of the day's work.

Each Progress Update becomes part of the activity record and can be reviewed later from the activity detail page.

Log a progress update

Create a Progress Update from the activity you want to record.

  1. Open the Project.
  2. Go to Project → Progress.
  3. Select the Progress Activity you want to update.
  4. Select Update.
  5. In Update Activity, enter the update details.
  6. Select Save.

Tip: Confirm the update date before saving so the completed quantity and related records are associated with the correct day.

Add quantity for the day

In Qty of the day, enter the quantity completed for the selected date.

GoBuid uses the activity's Unit to track the completed quantity against the activity's total target.

For example, if the activity is measured in m² and your team completes 50 m² on the selected date, enter 50 in Qty of the day.

The quantity is added to the activity's completed progress.

Add attachments

Use Attachment to upload supporting files for the update.

You can click the upload area or drag and drop files into it.

Attachments can be used for:

  • Site photos
  • Evidence of completed work
  • Inspection files
  • Other records related to the update

Uploaded attachments can be reviewed later from the activity's Attachment records.

Tip: Add supporting photos or files when they help show the actual site condition or provide evidence of the work completed.

Tag manpower and equipment

Record the resources used for the completed work by tagging manpower and equipment.

Tag Manpower

Select the workers or manpower associated with the activity.

Tag Equipment

Select the equipment used for the activity.

Tagging these resources helps GoBuid track productivity, such as quantity completed relative to the manpower or equipment used.

Only manpower and equipment that are checked in for the selected date can be tagged.

What happens after saving

After you select Save or Update, the Progress Update is added to the activity record.

The activity detail page may then show updated information such as:

  • Completed quantity
  • Remaining quantity
  • Days left
  • Progress chart data
  • Average quantity
  • Manpower productivity
  • Equipment productivity
  • Attachments
  • Update history

You can continue adding Progress Updates as work progresses.

Note: The information shown on the activity detail page depends on the data recorded in the activity and its updates.
