Activity Log

4 min read

With Activity Log, you can track your Team’s tasks and keep up with the activities on Board or Item.

There are several types of activity logs available in Plaky:

  • Board Activity Log
  • Item Activity Log
  • Last Seen

On Free plan you can access the history of activities for the past 7 days, on Pro plan for the past 6 months, while on Enterprise plan it is possible to have unlimited record of all past activities.

Board Activity Log #

Board Activity Log displays all past activities done on Board from status change or update, adding Comments, deleting Items or assigning Team Members to Board.

To check activity log for Boards, click Activity at the top of the Board.

The panel opens up with the list of all past Board activities. Each entry contains the following information: time of change, author of the change, name of the Board/View/Custom Field/Group or Item to which the change was made and how it looked prior to and after the change.

Use Filter to display the activities according to the following parameters:

  • Time (e.g. Today, This week, Last week)
  • Group (e.g. Planning, Launch)
  • Custom Field (e.g. Team Member assigned)
  • Person (e.g. Ann Morrison)
  • Event type

Event type helps you track change in types of events on your Board.

For example if:

  • Attribute or Status added to the Item changed
  • User is added or removed
  • Time frame changed
  • Item is moved from one Group to another
  • Item is moved to another Board
  • User or User Group subscribed to certain Board, Item or similar

Use Search by name option to see who made the change.

Efficiently track and analyze Board activity by exporting its activity log. To do it:

  1. Click on Activity at the top of the Board
  2. Click on export icon to complete the action

The file will be saved in CSV format, with this name format: boardName_boardID_activities.csv.
