You can use an existing instruction to quickly log a recurring visitor into the Event Log. Just find the instruction in the Unit Overview or under the Instructions module and click on it. At the bottom of the box, click on the green "Record a New Event" button.

 


 

The unit number and instruction text will automatically populate the comment field (which you can edit) and any picture, signature or ID saved to the instruction will appear on the event as well. All you have to do is select the event type and click the "Save Event" button.
