You may also be looking for the phrase "on report".

A report is a written, visual or oral account to communicate the status or outcome of a situation to others. After the situation, reports were typically placed in a computer file or record for later reference. Logs were similar to reports, but were generally recorded for posterity instead of primarily for dissemination to and usage by others.

Among the duties of a yeoman was bringing reports to the captain as did yeoman J.M. Colt in 2254. (TOS: "The Cage")

Ship mission and assignment records were maintained by a records officer aboard the USS Enterprise. (TOS: "Court Martial")

Aamin Marritza (while posing as Gul Darhe'el) prided himself on not losing a single report when he was a file clerk at Gallitep. He called his own computer filing system a "masterpiece of meticulous exactitude." (DS9: "Duet")

After the failed assassination attempt of Neela to Vedek Bareil Antos, Commander Benjamin Sisko and Major Kira Nerys wrote a report for Starfleet. (DS9: "In the Hands of the Prophets")

Gul Evek had a lengthy report to write after the incident on Dorvan V. (TNG: "Journey's End")

After Gowron assumed direct control of the Klingon Defense Forces in late 2375, he told Martok he should be happy - he would no longer have to file reports. (DS9: "When It Rains...")
