1 Enabling the Module
The module can be enabled / disabled via the Module Management function.
Once turned on, selecting the History option from the main menu will display a listing of all activities sorted in date order (most recent highest in the listing).
The information included in this display is:
| edit icon / pencil | enables editing of the history record |
| Date / Time | Date and Time of the event |
| Description | Summary of the activity |
| User | Lists the user who performed the action |
2 History Configuration
You will need to set the Log All Changes option on or off in System Admin > System Configuration (Log Changes) if you want to record everything. If on the other hand your history table is getting too big, you might want to turn it off :)
3 Filtering the Display
Just above the display listing, there's a drop-down box Changes to: which you can use to select a filter from the following options:
| Show All | Lists all history records |
| Projects | Filters display to show items relating to projects only |
| Files | Filters display to show items relating to files only |
| Forums | Filters display to show items relating to forums only |
| Login / Logouts | Filters display to show login and logout records only |
Select the required option and the filter will automatically streamline the listing.
4 Editing a Record
The pencil icon is used to edit the details in any history record. Whether or not you want to do this and why you'd want to do this will be a matter of local policy and procedures.
5 Adding a Record
On the extreme left hand side, above the display, there is an option for Adding a History Record. You can use this to generate manual history records. Again, whether or not you want to do this and why will be a matter of local policy and procedure.
