It just didn't work for me trying to rationalize my logbook containing private pilot, military, and 121 flights for different applications that all wanted the hours and flights broken out differently.
The intent in logbook pro seems to be day by day if you're keeping the aircraft. You might get some looks for doing it trip by trip but may be able to explain it. Month by month is an all around bad idea IMO.
When I used to keep the same a/c for a full day of flying I did it day by day or at acft swap, whichever came first. When I went to a place where plane swaps were the norm I went to leg by leg.
