Table of Contents
The Full Activity Log is a detailed record of changes to the database. The log records who made the change, what was changed, and the change occurred. You may download this report as a CSV (comma-separated values) file, then view and manage it through your usual spreadsheet software or text editor.
For example:
Logs show data objects, or skins, and the corresponding item keys, or unique identifiers, for the changed objects.
Logs show the new values of changed fields in the details column.
Logs can be searched by detailed information, such as the username of the person changing the data and data details.
Frequently there is more than one log entry with the same timestamp—each line in the results corresponds to a log entry—for a catalog item or profile. This shows that the change affected more than one database table. Kavi Showcase has several forms that can change data in multiple tables. For instance, the 'Edit a Catalog Item' tool can change information in the catalog item table and catalog item contact table.
Note
Because the Full Activity Log can be extremely long, the length of the results table is limited to 1000 lines or records. If you have reason to believe that your search results may exceed this limit, try setting more restrictive search criteria.

-

Note
The time fields can be used together to create a bounded time range beginning at the time set in the After This Time field and ending at the time set in the Before This Time field.
- Who Initiated Action
Enter a full or partial username to retrieve actions performed by a specific user.
- What Action Was Taken
Enter an action to retrieve changes of a specific type (e.g., 'added,' 'edited,' 'deleted,' 'email') or the name of a specialist (i.e., the DataSkin that performs the kind of action that you are trying to locate in the log).
- Action Details
Enter a string representing an action detail to retrieve changes whose details contain that string (e.g., a field name or value, etc.). This is the most versatile of the search options. Use it to search on email addresses, item key and myriad other details. This can perform partial matches, so if a search doesn't return the information you seek, try a shorter string to see if the information can be retrieved through a partial match.
