electronic record/e-record
It depends on how formal your text is but e-records gets more hits: 'Make sure you log in and complete today's e-record'.

Electronic records management is just as critical, if not more critical, than traditional paper-based records management. While general records management issues are relevant regardless of the form of the record, electronic record keeping has some special considerations, especially for long-term records. The life expectancy of an electronic file is relatively short, compared with the potential life span of the record itself. The media on which the record is kept and even the format it is kept in may be good for only a few years at best, whereas the lifetime of the record may be forever (its retention may be permanent). This paper concentrates on long-term records, defined as those records that have retentions from 10 years to permanent.
