On this web site, hopefully, you will find a lot of useful information to do with the Diary.

     - How to get started -

     - What happens when you start the Diary for the first time -

     - What to do when something doesn't work as expected -

       and so on...

The Diary is not a programme, like a piece of software that you install on your computer.

The Diary is one of Everest's web sites.  It's an on-line reporting system.

Therefore, your computer must be able to connect to the Internet, in order to be able to log on to and use the Diary.

The Diary allows the user to report facts and figures of the day's activity. All you have to do is to log on, with your user name and password and input your information.  Reporting is more accurate by eliminating the fact that the information is not being handled by various number of people. You know your facts and figures and that is what you are reporting.

As soon you enter the information, it is available for all to see - your Manager, your Divisional etc...
