Log

The Log tab shows all your sighting records:

Note that the appearance of the log may be different if you are using a customised theme. (see Themes)

  • Records are shown in date/time order, with the newest records at the top.
  • Each day has a header (in blue above): the header shows the date and the number of records and firsts for the day.
  • For each row in the log, you will see:
    • A camera icon if the record was set with "Photo"
    • A train icon is the record was set with "Haul"
    • A star icon if this is the first record of the loco
    • The time of the sighting
    • Consist bracket if the entry is part of a consist.
    • The set and class of the item
    • The number entered.  If the number in the book is different to the number entered, the book number will be shown in brackets. See Alternate Numbers
    • The location of the sighting

Depending on the theme in use, you may see other fields. For example on an iPad in landscape mode, there is space for the log to show the note field as well.

You can scroll down the log to see previous records.  If you have many years of records, the "Jump to" control at the bottom of the list allows you to jump to a particular year. 

(exactly which years will be shown, depends on your records).

If you have the SpotLog Sync Service, there will be a Sync button at the bottom of the list.
