Custom log fields let you standardize what students capture on every service log. Unlike event intake questions (which are per-event), these fields appear on ALL logs across your institution.
Common school fields
- Supervisor name (Text, Required) — who supervised the student on-site.
- Service category (Select, Required) — Community, Health, Education, Environment, etc.
- Location (Text, Optional) — where the service took place.
- Reflection prompt (Text, Optional) — a short written reflection for portfolio requirements.
Keep required fields minimal
Every required field adds friction. If students face a 10-field form, they'll procrastinate on logging. Start with 2-3 essentials (supervisor name, category) and add more only if reporting genuinely requires it.
For students
Required fields set by your school appear as red-asterisk fields on every log you submit. They're non-negotiable — fill them out or you can't submit the log.
