With SmartSuite's Record Activity History feature, you can see every change that has been made to a record, when it was made, and who made the change. At a glance you can see who has been collaborating, what changes each teammate made, and how much activity there has been within a particular record.

Uses for Record Activity History

This powerful feature provides a play-by-play accounting of all record changes, which could help you:

Identify which collaborator made a certain change
See how current the record's data may be based on the date of its changes
Identify when a record was originally created, and by which user
Audit changes to sensitive documents

Working With Record Activity History

How Activity History is Tracked

All changes that are made to a record by an individual user within a 3 minute period are considered a single change, and are recorded that way. This approach consolidates changes into logical groupings to prevent the history log from becoming too large and difficult to read.

View Record Activity History

To view a record's activity history, just follow these steps:

Open the record in record display mode.
Click the clock-shaped icon in the upper-right hand corner of the window.
The Record Activity History panel will slide open.

Once the activity history panel is open you can:

See when the record was created and last updated
Search for changes made by specific users
See the details of the record change
