Daily reports are the foundation of everything you track in Raken. This article walks you through how to complete a daily report from the mobile app — from logging work and adding photos to signing off and sharing your report.

To create a daily report on mobile:

Open the Raken mobile app. Tap Project tools in the bottom navigation bar. Tap Select at the top left (or the current project name) to open the project list. Tap the project you want to log for.

From the Project tools screen, tap Daily logs. Today's date is selected by default. Tap the date at the top to navigate to a different day if needed.

Tap Work logs to record crew activity for the day. Tap the orange + button to create a new Work log. Select or type the company name, enter the number of workers, hours, and a description of the work performed. Add any attachments if needed and tap the checkmark ✓ in the top right to save.

Note: Work logs track manpower and activity by company. For individual employee payroll hours, use Time cards instead.

Tap Time cards in the Daily logs section to log individual employee hours for payroll. Tap the orange + button, select the employee(s), enter their hours and cost code, and tap the checkmark ✓ to save.

Tap Notes to add any written observations for the day. Choose from three categories: General notes, Site safety observations, or Quality control observations. Tap +, type your note (use voice-to-text for hands-free entry), add any attachments, then tap ✓ to save.

Tap Attachments to add photos, videos, or files directly to the daily report — not tied to a specific work log or note. Tap the orange + button, choose Take photo, Select photo, or Select file, add a caption if needed, and tap ✓ to save.

Tap Survey to answer your project's daily survey questions. Answer Yes, No, or N/A for each question and add descriptions where needed.

Tap Preview report from the Daily logs screen. Review all entries to confirm everything looks correct. Tap Sign and complete, use your saved Quick sign signature or draw manually, then tap Complete to finalize. Once signed, the report is locked and distributed to anyone on your project's report distribution list.

After signing, tap the ellipsis (…) menu in the top right. Select Share to send the PDF via email or any app on your device. Select Export to save a copy locally.

Once a report is signed, it is locked. Tap the ellipsis (…) menu and select Unsign report to unlock it for editing. Note that unsigning removes the digital signature.

Yes. Tap the date at the top of the Daily logs screen and navigate to the date you need.

Raken supports offline entry via Daily logs. Your entries are saved locally and sync automatically when your connection is restored.
