Overview

The Activity Log is an audit trail of actions in your Elementum organization. Entries are recorded automatically; you do not enable logging separately for each app or workflow. Typical uses include tracing changes to a specific user and time, supporting compliance and security reviews, and narrowing down causes when something goes wrong.

What gets tracked

You may see events such as:
  • Record and data changes, and workflow or automation runs
  • App configuration updates and agent-related actions
  • Sign-in events and permission changes
  • Organization and security settings updates
  • Activity from integrations and APIs
Actions can come from the web interface, mobile app, API calls, or automations. Log entries generally include what changed, which account performed the action, when it occurred, and how the action was triggered.
Users cannot edit or delete Activity Log entries.

Where to find activity

  • Record layouts — Add the Activity Log component to your layouts so activity appears on record detail pages.
  • App — Open AppSecurityActivity Log to see activity for that app.
Activity appears in a searchable timeline, with user or system attribution where applicable. Expand an entry for full detail, including before-and-after values when available.

Working with the log

  • Filters — Narrow by user, date range, activity type, or affected resources.
  • Search — Find specific activities, people, or resources.
  • Detail — Select an entry to see full context and links to related resources when available.

Common scenarios

Use the log to support reviews that require a record of data changes and which accounts performed them.

Best practices

  • Review logs periodically for operational and security visibility, according to your organization’s policies.
  • Restrict who can view Activity Logs to people who need that access for their role.
  • Clarify audit log retention requirements with your organization so they meet your compliance obligations.
  • Combine log review with notifications, reporting, and other tools you already use for operations.
