Delete a Log Book Entry

The Manager Log Book is a secure communication tool exclusively available to Admins, Managers, and Assistant Managers. It operates like a shared diary or journal in your 7shifts account, and serves as a written record to help your management team track business operations (i.e., performance reviews, challenges, achievements, future plans and other relevant information).

In this article you'll learn how to delete a comment or entry in the Manager Log Book. You cannot edit previous log book entries.

Things To Know


Managers and Assistant Managers can only access the Manager Log Book and receive email summaries for the Locations they are assigned to.
  • Log book entries cannot be edited once posted.
  • Employee Performance Log posts are permanent and cannot be deleted.
  • Admins can delete any entry from any date (past, present or future).
  • Managers and Assistant Managers can delete their own posts by default.
  • Deleting posts created by others requires the "Can delete logbook posts" permission and is subject to the Levels of Hierarchy. For example, A Manager can delete the post of an Assistant Manager, but an Assistant Manager cannot delete the post of a Manager or Admin.
  • Only Admins can delete entries from past dates.
