Logging fieldwork is this simple

STEP BY STEP

1. 1

   Sign in with Google

   Start in one second with your Google account — no separate password. On first sign-in, you enter your target credential and basic info just once.

2. 2

   Pick the activity type

   First choose the activity type. Hands-on intervention with a client is ‘Direct’, paperwork/session notes/research is ‘Indirect’, and time supervised by your supervisor is ‘Supervision’.

   💡 QABA recommends a cumulative balance of at least 60% indirect and at most 40% direct. The dashboard donut shows your ratio automatically.

3. 3

   Enter the date and hours

   Enter the date and hours in 0.25-hour (15-minute) units. Log multiple activities on the same day separately — the monthly report sums them automatically.

4. 4

   For supervision: individual/group and supervisor name

   When you choose ‘Supervision’, extra fields appear. Select individual or group, and enter which supervisor provided it. (Certification number is optional.)

   💡 Per QABA, monthly group supervision hours cannot exceed individual supervision hours. The dashboard ‘Supervision by month’ card flags this.

5. 5

   Save and review

   Once saved, the entry appears in the dashboard ‘Recent logs’ table. If you made a mistake, edit or delete it right there.

6. 6

   See progress and monthly summaries

   The dashboard shows cumulative hours, activity balance, and supervision hours by month at a glance. In the ‘Monthly report’ you can pick a month and export it as CSV or Excel.

   💡 Use the exported file as a reference when filling out the official QABA fieldwork form. Note that this summary itself is not official documentation.
