Activity Log
The Activity Log lists recent actions in your company, newest first. Use it to check who changed something and when.
Only admin users can open the Activity Log. Office and field users do not see it.
Quick Start: View the Activity Log
- Go to Settings > Activity Log
- Read the list. The newest entries are at the top
- Type a word in Search activity messages... and press Enter, or click Refresh
- Click Load more at the bottom to see older entries
Step-by-Step Workflow
- Go to Settings > Activity Log
- Wait for the System Activity card to load. It shows a count such as "1,240 recent activity entries"
- Find the entry you want. Each row shows When, Type, User, and Message
- To find something specific, type part of the message in the search box and press Enter. The card then reads "matching" your words
- If an entry has a Details link, click it to open the full record behind the message
- Click Load more to see the next 50 entries
What You See
| Column | Shows |
|---|---|
| When | Date and time of the action, in your browser's time zone |
| Type | The kind of activity, as a label |
| User | Who did it. Actions with no user show as "System" |
| Message | A one-line summary of what happened |
The list loads 50 entries at a time. A badge on the card says how many are loaded, and the Load more button says how many remain.
Searching
The search box looks inside the message text. Type part of a word, a project number, or a name, and press Enter, or click Refresh.
- The search covers the message only. It does not filter by user, date, or type
- Clear the box and press Enter to go back to the full list
- Refresh reloads the list and applies whatever is in the box
If nothing matches, the page reads "No activity found. Try a different search or refresh after generating new activity."
Details Behind a Message
Some entries store a block of data, such as the fields that were saved. DrillerDB shows a one-line summary and keeps the data behind a Details link, closed until you open it. Plain messages have no Details link.
Activity on One Project
Admins also see an Activity tab inside each project. It lists the activity for that project only.
Privacy
Activity entries can include the technical details of an action. For that reason only admins can read them. Think about who has the admin role in Settings > Users. See User Roles.
