What Is Activity History?

Activity History is a feature in SmartSuite that logs and tracks changes made to records, providing details about:

  • When a record was created and last updated.

  • Any modifications to record content.

This tool ensures transparency and accountability by showing a detailed timeline of actions.


How to View Record Activity History

  1. Open the Record: Navigate to the desired record in Record View mode.

  2. Access the Activity History Panel: Click the View Activity History icon to open the panel.

  3. Explore the History: The panel will display a chronological list of changes, including timestamps and user actions.

Filtering Activity History

  • By Member: Filter changes by specific team members to focus on their contributions or edits.


What Activities Are Tracked?

The following actions are logged in Activity History:

  • Date and Time: Timestamp of each modification.

  • User Information: Name of the Member who made the change. If the update was made by an automation, the automation name will be displayed instead.

  • Field Name: The field containing the modified content.

  • Value Changes:

    • Original values and modified values.

    • Whether the value was added, updated, or deleted.

Example: A Single Select Field changed from "Prospective Vendor" to "Under Review."
