English translation: Enter day/month/year (the medicine has been) taken

Medical - Medical (general)
Swedish term or phrase: Ange dag/månad/år taget
In an instruction booklet for a patient dosage diary, it says, "Ange dag/månad/år taget".

Is this "enter each day/month/year"? or is this short for enter one "day/month/year at a time."
