The activity log is a read-only overview of events recorded in the system. The log covers actions across organizational units and gives administrators an audit trail that can be used for troubleshooting, compliance and monitoring of system activity. Events are created automatically by the system — you cannot edit or delete them manually.
The activity log is found in Financial under the menu item Activity log in the left-hand navigation.
If you cannot see the menu item, you probably do not have permission for it. Contact support.
Note for administrators: access to the activity log requires the `navigation.access.event.log` permission. The permission is granted via the user or group setup.
When you open the activity log, you see a list of all recorded events. The list is paginated and loaded in pages.
Created on: The date and time the event was recorded in the system. By default the column is sorted in descending order, so the most recent events are shown at the top.
Org. unit: The organizational unit (store, department or warehouse) the event is associated with.
Type: A short category label indicating the event's category, for example a specific system process or integration.
Subject: A short subject or name describing the event.
Description: A free-text description of the event. If the description is too long to display in the column, you can see the full text by hovering over the cell.
You can search across all fields in the list by clicking the search icon in the top-right corner and entering your search text. Click the cross to reset the search.
In addition, you can filter per column directly in the column headers:
Created on: Filter on a date range — specify a from-date, a to-date or both.
Org. unit: Select one or more organizational units from an OU picker.
Type: Filter with a text pattern that matches the column value.
Subject: Filter with a text pattern that matches the column value.
Description: Filter with a text pattern that matches the column value.
See How to search in lists for more about searching and filtering.
If the query returns too many results, it may time out. In that case the message "The query has timed out. Try specifying more filters." is shown. Narrow your search criteria or column filters and try again.
You can sort the list by clicking a column header. Click again to reverse the sort direction. All five columns support sorting: Created on, Org. unit, Type, Subject and Description.
You can customize which columns are shown in the list. Click the column selector icon at the top of the list to toggle individual columns on or off.
You can open the detail dialog for an event in two ways:
Select a row in the list and click the View button in the top-right corner. The View button is only visible when a row is selected.
Alternatively, you can double-click directly on the row to open the details.
The detail dialog shows all information about the selected event. All fields are read-only — you cannot edit anything in the dialog.
Created on: The date and time the event was recorded.
Type: The event's type category.
Subject: Subject of the event.
Description: Full text description of the event shown in a scrollable text field.
Content: Shown only if additional content is attached to the event. The field may contain, for example, an error message, an XML document or similar technical information. If there is no content, the field is not shown.
Close the dialog by clicking the Close button.
