Did you know that you can connect entry points from the Logs and Rounds module with a component?
By reporting a round with this entry point you will then generate data in the components history tab and thus, for example, have a verification for your daily safety check also displayed in the components history.
In order to set a component as available in the Logs and Rounds module you need to activate this checkbox:

When you run your daily checks round with this entrypoint, the components history gets updated as well:
