Create Observed Weather Condition Entries

The Observed Weather Conditions section allows for tracking various metrics, such as project delays caused by weather conditions and comparing team productivity against prevailing weather. The tool automatically pulls data from integrated weather software to generate a daily snapshot and weather report for the project's location.

1. Navigate to your project's Daily Log tool.
   The List tab is selected by default.

2. Scroll to the Observed Weather Conditions section. This section appears below the weather snapshot.
   You can also use the left navigation menu to quickly navigate to the Observed Weather Conditions section.

   Observed Weather Conditions - Field Names and Descriptions

   • Company: Select the company name for which you are creating this log entry.

   • Time Observed: Enter the time the weather conditions were observed using the hour and minute dropdown menus.

   • Delay: Mark the checkbox to add a weather delay alert in the daily log, or unmark the checkbox to remove the delay alert.
     Important: Marking the checkbox triggers the system to send an automated weather delay alert to project users who have enabled weather alert notifications. See Enable Weather Delay Alerts By Phone or Email. These notifications work as described:

     • Weather delay alerts by phone: The system dials the user's telephone number and takes one of the following actions based on the user's response:

       • If the user answers the call, a robotic voice alerts the user of the weather delay and identifies the project by name.

       • If the user declines or misses the call, the system alerts the user of the weather delay by leaving a voice mail message.

     • Weather delay alerts by email: The system sends an email message to the address on the user's record.
       Note: The system does NOT send an alert when a user unmark the Delay checkbox to remove or cancel a weather delay.
