<span style="font-weight: 300;">Each region will have its own set of earthworks details and cut/fill summary.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 300;">Press the '</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">**Records**</span><span style="font-weight: 300;">' button (shown as a printer) to save design details (in PDF format) to a folder for record keeping and documentation purposes.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 300;">Press the '</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">**Activity Log**</span><span style="font-weight: 300;">' button (shown as a clipboard) to view the activity that a file has undergone. This includes things like file save times and when/what design functions have been applied to a file.</span>

## <span style="font-weight: 400;">Notes on printing records</span>

<span style="font-weight: 300;">The ‘</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">**Records**</span><span style="font-weight: 300;">’ feature in T3RRA software creates a PDF document and saves it to the hard drive. This document is meant to give an overview of the operation being performed by the software. It is suitable for record keeping purposes, or for supplying to field managers or clients.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 300;">It includes the following:</span>

- <span style="font-weight: 300;">Map of the original surface</span>
- <span style="font-weight: 300;">Map of the design surface</span>
- <span style="font-weight: 300;">Map of Cut and Fill areas</span>
- <span style="font-weight: 300;">Statistics relating to the earthworks</span>

<span style="font-weight: 300;">The maps created in the report will include a grid overlay showing data values.</span>

## <span style="font-weight: 400;">Notes on the Activity Log</span>

<span style="font-weight: 300;">![SyJlbuqdidmurx8xr7hot9xxumqfldajz71ta-png.png](https://docs.t3rra.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-03/scaled-1680-/SyJlbuqdidmurx8xr7hot9xxumqfldajz71ta-png.png)The ‘</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">**Activity Log**</span><span style="font-weight: 300;">’ is designed to provide a history of the user actions that were performed in a project. It keeps a sequential history of the design actions that have </span>

<span style="font-weight: 300;">been performed. This is helpful in understanding what methods were used in order to go from the original design surface to the final design surface. Where possible a record of slopes, directions, and design tools utilized are kept. As we allow designs to be performed on existing designs and differently in different regions, the steps and actions taken to go from the original surface to the final design surface can be quite complicated. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 300;">The ‘</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">**Activity Log**</span><span style="font-weight: 300;">’ also keeps a record of the results of a design action (in the form of the resulting dirt balance statistics).</span>

<span style="font-weight: 300;">If the user is in doubt about steps taken or parameters used, they can refer back to this log. The log entries include a date and time in order to remove confusion about when the actions were performed.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 300;">The log can also be used to compare two or more design options. Because the results of each design operation are kept in the log it can be easier to simply compare them there rather than trying to remember them, or write down the results.</span>

Then paste it into any other application.</span>
