 == Viewing the daily log ==
-To view the daily log use the ''dayfile.txt'' command in '''Edit''' menu.  This is how you view the dayfile.txt from within Cumulus.  If you upload the file to your web site, then see [[AnnualDataSummary]] for information about ways to show values for a particular weather criterion in a calendar like display.
+To view the whole daily log use the ''dayfile.txt'' command in '''Edit''' menu.  This is how you view, and optionally edit, the dayfile.txt from within Cumulus.  If you upload the file to your web site, then see [[AnnualDataSummary]] for information about ways to show values for a particular weather criterion in a calendar like display.
+To view a summary of dayfile.txt for a month, calendar year or selected period, use ''This month'', ''This year'' or ''This period'' within the '''View''' menu. By default, these load the details for the current calendar month, the current calendar year or yesterday; i.e. in all cases they exclude the today details that are not stored on dayfile.txt until the end of day rollover.
-'''Note:''' there is no option in the '''View''' menu. (The ''data log'' option in that menu is for viewing the [[Monthly_log_files]] only).
 == Dealing with rogue measurements ==
 Cumulus provides via '''Configuration''' menu ''Calibration'' screen the ability to screen out spikes in data picked up from your weather station. See Cumulus help screen if you decide to use that to cope with some spikes. But some rogue values may be within the accepted all-time range, but just not really applicable to that particular day.
