Chapter 21. Profile Activity History

Overview

The Profile Activity History tool is used to create customized views and reports of profile activity for troubleshooting and reporting purposes. Data recorded for each activity includes the time it occurred, its origin, who initiated the change, the type of change, the name of the profile and activity notes entered by administrators. 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.

The information presented in the Profile Activity History is a simplified version of information extracted from the Full Activity Log that has been formatted for ease of use. If you need more detailed information about profile activity, such as which specific database fields were affected by the change and the new values in these fields, use the Full Activity Log tool. If you want to access profile data, use the Profile Data Report.

Use the Profile Activity History tool to:

  • Create a real-time overview of changes to profile data in the Kavi Members database.

  • Get information you need for troubleshooting.

  • Download profile activity information.
