Not all of your house's work happens in a session. Helping someone one-to-one, writing a grant application or managing volunteers is real work that funders want counted. A Service Log records that time, so it's included in Total Activity Hours in the monthly report.
The totals themselves are explained in Monthly Reporting.
⚠️ Important: Changes show the next day. The totals update once a night, at about 1:00 AM (Melbourne time). A Service Log added or changed today appears in the totals the next morning.
Where to find it in the menu:
Reports > Monthly Metrics, Quarterly Metrics or Yearly Metrics: view the totals
Configuration > Individual Service Types: add the services your house delivers
Daily Operations > Service Logs > Add Service Log: log service or coordination work
Daily Operations > Service Logs > My Service Logs or All Service Logs: see saved Service Logs
📘 Note: If any of these menu items aren't visible, your house has a custom navigation. Contact Clevero support and we'll add them.
Each Service Log has a Type, which decides where its hours go in the report. The Date decides which month they count in.
Service hours, service preparation and coordination hours are all part of Total Activity Hours.
📘 Note: If Configuration isn’t in your menu, your house has a custom navigation. Contact Clevero support and we’ll add it.
These are the fields on a Service Log:

Hours are entered in hours, not minutes:
15 minutes = 0.25
30 minutes = 0.5
90 minutes = 1.5
In October, a staff member logs:
A 1-hour Personal Counselling session with 0.25 hours preparation (Type Service).
2 hours on a grant application (Type Coordination).
October's Total Activity Hours go up by 1 + 0.25 + 2 = 3.25 hours.
