​
Overview

The Gifts & Entertainment Log is the detailed register of every gift and entertainment declaration recorded in CORE. While the G&E Dashboard gives you a summary view with charts and value-band breakdowns, the log is where you go to find specific records, review declaration details, and manage individual entries.

​
How to use it

From the sidebar, select Gifts & Entertainment and then Log. The full register loads in the main content area.

​
Browsing and searching

The log displays all declarations in a table format. You can:
  • Search — use the search box to find records by ID, stakeholder name, type, or keyword. Results filter as you type.
  • Sort — click any column header to reorder the table ascending or descending.
  • Filter — use the dropdown filters to narrow records by Team, Entity, or other available criteria.

Understanding the table columns

The log follows the standard CORE register pattern. Key columns include:

​
Opening a record

Click any row to open the full declaration. From the detail view you can:
  • Review the full description and supporting documentation.
  • Check or update the approval status.
  • Add notes or comments for the audit trail.
  • View the change history.

​
Pagination

For organisations with a large volume of declarations, the log is paginated. Use the navigation controls at the bottom of the table to move between pages.

Tips & Tricks

When preparing for an audit, use the search and filter options together to isolate declarations by a specific entity and date range. This saves time compared to scrolling through the entire register.
The G&E Log and the G&E Dashboard share the same underlying data. Any record you update here is immediately reflected in the dashboard’s status tiles and chart.
If a declaration is missing from the log, check that your filters are not hiding it. A Team or Entity filter may be excluding records outside the currently selected scope. Clear all filters and search again to confirm.
