What is the GROUP function in QuickLog?

As an individual user (versus an Administrator for a Hunting Club, Private Land, or Outfitter), you
can create what we call a Group.



A Group is a way for you to log entries into specific land areas or properties you hunt. You can
also set up groups for a season or other timeline like a specific hunt, or any other sort of
grouping youd like.

You may create as many groups as youd like.

When using your Scoutlook DeerLog while hunting, you may log a deer from a specific stand
and assign it to a Group so deer observed are assigned to a property, timeline or other.

Many people hunt parcels multiple lands, and this allows you to know which hunted best
according to the logs posted.

NOTE you must create the Group names BEFORE you can post logs to them! Do this via the
Add/Edit Groups function the DeerLog.




Editing Log Entries:

If you create a log in error, or wish to delete logs entered by others, you can do so by using the
Delete Function from your desktop PC/Mac, but not your app. Simply mouse over the row for
the log entry to be deleted and the Delete link will appear as shown below:
