When a log is required
RestShade defaults to action-day logging: file when heat, smoke, or cold crosses inspector-relevant thresholds, not every mild workday.
A 60 F clear Tuesday is not a missing log. RestShade expects a signed site log on action days when forecast or readings cross thresholds an inspector would ask about. Baseline duties like water on site, cool-down on request, and written plans are not what flip Today to log required. The inspector packet still lists non-work days and below-threshold workdays in an appendix.

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need a log on a mild day? Not in the default action-day mode. File one if you want the record, or switch the company to daily mode in Settings.
- Does the site agent create logs on all-clear days? No. It refreshes forecasts and emails you when conditions change into an action day.
- What goes in the inspector packet for mild days? Action-day logs plus an appendix listing non-work days and below-threshold workdays in the window.
