Track activity

How can I track activities and changes on my Tallyfy templates?

The template Activity stream maintains comprehensive logs of all modifications made to templates, providing complete change visibility and audit trail capabilities for governance and compliance.

This detailed tracking system enables precise monitoring of template evolution, helping identify specific changes, responsible users, and modification timestamps for enhanced template governance and troubleshooting.

Who has access to view template activity logs?

  • Administrators with full system access.
  • Standard members who have permission to view the specific template.
  • The person who originally created the template (template owner).

  • Evolution Analysis: Understand template development patterns and modification trends over time for continuous improvement
  • Issue Resolution: Rapidly identify when changes may have introduced problems or unexpected workflow behavior

How should I interpret the activity log information?

The log shows entries with the newest changes at the top for easy chronological review:

  • When: The date and time the action happened for precise timing.
  • Who: The name of the user who made the change for accountability.
  • What: The type of action that took place for change categorization.
  • Details: More information about exactly what was changed for complete understanding.

How long are activity logs retained in the system?

  • Activity logs are kept for as long as the template exists in the system.
  • If you archive a template, its history is still preserved for reference.
  • If you duplicate (copy) a template, the new copy gets a brand new, empty activity log.
  • You cannot edit or delete activity log entries to maintain audit integrity.

Who has authorized access to view activity logs?

Only certain people can view a template’s activity log based on permission levels:

  • Administrator members with full system access.
  • Standard members who have been given permission to view that specific template.
  • The person who created the template (original owner).

This access control ensures sensitive change information remains secure while providing necessary visibility to authorized stakeholders.
