# Generate a Shift Handover Summary with AI

This tutorial shows how to create a handover summary for the Cookie Factory production team before the incoming shift reviews the Shift Logbook.

## Before You Start

Make sure that:

* An Active **Shift Logbook** exists for the Cookie Factory **Area**.
* You have permission to create **Shift Logbook** entries.
* **AI** is configured and you have access to `AI.ViewSummary`.

For complete operation requirements, see [[user-guide-generate-shift-handover-summary|Generate Shift Handover Summary]].

!!! info "Cookie Factory Scenario"
    The Cookie Factory scenario is an example only. Use a Shift Logbook, Area, and entries available in your environment. Adapt the object names to your own scenario.

## Create Shift Logbook Entries

The morning shift at Cookie Factory is ending. Before the next shift starts, the supervisor needs to provide a concise handover that covers the production, quality, and maintenance events recorded during the shift.

Create representative **Shift Logbook** entries for the following events:

* A production delay at the `Mixing` **Step**.
* A quality-related observation for `Cookie01` **Material**.
* A maintenance action related to `Chocolate_Oven-01` **Resource**.

## Generate the Summary

1. Open the applicable **Shift Logbook** for the Cookie Factory **Area**.
1. Review the entries created during the shift.
1. Select **View Summary**.
1. Review the generated Shift Handover Summary.

The summary combines the applicable **Shift Logbook** entries with activity information available for the **Area** during the **Shift**.

## Review the Summary

Confirm that the summary addresses the events that require follow-up:

* The production delay and its operational impact.
* The quality observation for `Cookie01`.
* The maintenance action for `Chocolate_Oven-01`.

Verify the relevant information against the applicable MES records before the incoming supervisor signs off the **Shift Logbook**.
