Logbook: Use Manifest Snippets in Voyage Reports and Daily Logs

You can include manifest entry details in your voyage reports and daily logs using snippet tags. This lets you show passenger information alongside other voyage data in printed or exported logs.

Where You Can Use Manifest Snippets

Manifest snippet tags work in:

• Voyage reports
• Daily log snippets
• Custom logbook printouts

When you insert manifest snippet tags into your report templates, the system pulls the relevant passenger data based on the report's date range or voyage period.

Setting Up Manifest Snippets

To use manifest data in your reports:

1. Open the report template or snippet you want to edit.
2. Insert manifest snippet tags where you want passenger information to appear.
3. The snippet tags pull data from the Manifest based on the dates in your report.
4. Save your template.

When you generate the report, it includes the manifest data for passengers who were aboard during the report period.

Common Uses for Manifest Snippets

• Voyage billing logs: Include passenger names, boarding dates, and meal counts for OSV billing
• Daily logs: Show who was aboard each day along with other daily activities
• Compliance reports: Document passenger information for regulatory requirements
• Custom printouts: Create specialized reports that combine manifest data with other logbook information

Tips for Using Manifest Snippets in Reports

• Test your snippet tags in a draft report before using them in production
• Make sure your manifest data is complete and accurate before generating reports for billing or compliance
• Use date ranges in your snippets to match the voyage or reporting period
• Combine manifest snippets with voyage snippets to create comprehensive trip reports
