Chapter 68. Company Activity Log

Overview

The Company Activity Log tool is used to create customized views and reports of changes made to company data: who made the change, when the change occurred and which fields were changed. It provides more detailed information about data changes than the Company Activity History tool, such as the names of all changed database fields. Information displayed in the Company Activity Log results table is derived from the Full Activity Log, where all changes to the database are automatically recorded, but the Company Activity Log only includes changes made to company data.

Customized reports are created by setting search criteria, including the company and the period of time during which the data changes occurred.

Frequently there will be more than one entry (or lines in the report) for an individual company created at the same time. This indicates the user data change affected more than one database table. Many Members tools change data in multiple tables simultaneously. For instance, the Edit a Company tool can change information in both the company database table and address database table.

The report displays the following columns:

When

The date and time of the change.

Who Changed

The username of the user who initiated the change. If this is 'Anonymous User', the change was made from a publicly accessible page, such as 'Sign Up for an Account' or 'Password Help'.

What Was Done

Indicates the type of change that was logged. This can be 'added', 'edited' or 'deleted'.

Which Company

The name of the company whose information was changed.

Which Fields

The name of each field in the database that was changed in this company's record. If more than one table in the database was affected by the change, this information will be contained in multiple rows in the report.
