“DingTalk Log” — Stay informed about Employee work status in real time, with every task traceable —

​
Before: As a Company executive, I often travel for work and can’t meet with employees face-to-face on a regular basis. How can I understand their work situation within limited time?

​
Now: With DingTalk Log, managers gain transparent and convenient visibility into Employee work.

Even when managers are frequently out of the office or unable to communicate directly with their team members, DingTalk Log makes it easy and transparent to access each Employee’s daily reports and work plans, helping managers reasonably track Employee progress. DingTalk Log is available on both desktop and mobile, with automatic real-time saving so that employees can complete their daily reports anytime, anywhere.
“Custom dedicated Templates” — Different Templates for different departments make reporting more standardized —

​
Before: As a Company manager overseeing multiple departments — sales, finance, administration, HR, and more — each with different responsibilities and priorities, how can I ensure that employees in different roles submit effective work reports?

​
Now: With DingTalk Log, employees in different roles can Customize dedicated Templates, making reporting more standardized and efficient.

For employees in different roles, Organization managers can flexibly Customize different reporting Templates. This standardizes the content employees Submit, prevents inconsistent or careless reporting, and helps managers better understand each Employee’s core daily or monthly output without repeated follow-ups — enabling more transparent management. Employees can also quickly report their work according to the Template, boosting work efficiency.
“Work review” — Help employees manage themselves and plan their work better —

​
Before: Employees’ daily work is complex, often lacking planning or focus. How can I help them better organize their work?

​
Now: With DingTalk Log, employees develop strong habits of summarizing and planning their work, and review key priorities regularly.

“Real-time sharing and Comments” — Shared logs can be discussed via Comments to accelerate work —

​
Before: When reviewing work reports via Mail, discussions often required multiple back-and-forth Mail exchanges without reaching a clear conclusion, resulting in low work efficiency.

​
Now: With DingTalk Log, you can comment on and Like others’ reports, making communication smoother.

​
Managers can use logs to understand their team members’ work progress and thinking, and share their own thoughts with the Team.

​
Colleagues can use logs to record their work, accumulate insights, and grow together. During annual or quarterly reviews, the Team’s work trajectory is clearly visible.

Share your work reports through logs, and receive logs shared by your Colleagues in return. For others’ reports, you can Like and praise great work, or Submit real-time questions through Comments. In particular, when a manager wants to adjust a subordinate’s work arrangement, they can communicate through Comments to quickly align on plans and move tasks forward.
“Automatic statistics” — No manual collection needed; logs are tallied automatically —

​
Before: As the head of a product Team, every time I prepared a work report, I had to check on and remind every Team member to Submit their materials. After a while, I felt awkward following up again.

​
Now: With DingTalk Log, work reports are automatically tallied, giving you a clear view of submission status.

No manual collection is needed. Managers can Filter and view daily, monthly, and other reports across multiple dimensions — by time, User, Department, and more — making it easy to get an overall picture of each Employee’s work status by stage. Submission reminders can also be set to automatically prompt employees to write logs, ensuring everyone completes their reports on time. With “Statistics Export,” managers can quickly view reporting status.
“Full-text Search” — Quickly Find past log content using keywords —

​
Before: As an R&D engineer, work reporting is what I struggle with most. Every year-end summary takes me a lot of time to prepare.

​
Now: With DingTalk Log, quickly Find historical report content and save time on preparing materials.

When employees need to prepare a mid-year or year-end summary, they can use logs to review past entries and quickly complete their stage summary reports.
