Carerealm renders a day's diary in one of two modes — your realm admin picks per-area. They look quite different. Knowing which mode you're in makes the page far easier to scan.
Mode A — Timeline (multiple entries per day)
A vertical 48-row half-hour timeline runs from 00:00 to 23:30 down the page. Each diary entry, form submission and eMAR administration is a card slotted at its time. The page auto-scrolls to the most recent event on load.
Diary entries — primary-coloured header bar showing time, author, "X minutes ago".
Form submissions — pink header. Click View form response to open the full submission.
Medication administrations — emerald header. Click View MAR sheet to jump back to eMAR.
Forms and medications only appear when enabled in Diary configuration.
Mode B — Single card + revisions
One large primary-headed card per day. The card body is the latest revision of the day's diary text. Below it:
Diary revisions list — every prior revision as a row with timestamp + author. Badges: Current (the latest), Locked, Photo.
Completed Forms section below — form submissions for the day.
Click any revision row to open the Revision View slideover, which shows that revision's content with an Actions menu (Make current, Edit content, Lock, Archive — admin/moderator only).
Empty state
Days with no entries show a friendly empty-state card with the day-aware heading:
"No diary entries today!" (today, amber underline)
"No diary entries yesterday" / "No diary entries tomorrow"
"No diary entries" (other days)
Each empty state has its own Add diary entry button.
Locked entries
A locked entry shows a yellow Entry locked pill. If you don't have permission to view locked entries, the body is replaced with a warning card: "This diary entry is locked, only an admin or selected users can view it." See Locking entries.
