Use submittal logs to store rounds of submittals and their status, dates received, and dates returned. Submittal log fields have options for including an extra set of dates, calculating durations, and their subfields.

Display the Date Submitted and Date Returned as well as the Primary Date received and Primary Date Returned in the submittal log form. |
Submittal log fields are made up of subfields of different types. While submittal logs contain some subfields by default, you can also add and delete your own, just like in the Define Fields dialog.

- You can only add, delete, move, and change the type of custom subfields—those not defined by Details. However, you can change the name and options for any subfield, custom or application-defined.
- You cannot add subfields which contain multiple values to submittal logs; this includes List of… fields, project logs, and other submittal logs.
- The display, text alignment, and presets are defined per subfield according to the field type.
