Activity Log

The Activity Log page (found by navigating to Data Collection > IT Assets Inventory Status > Activity Log) displays the detailed information about the system-level activities (such as a Beacon upgrade) performed on IT Asset Management.

You can also view this page by clicking the View activity log link on the Status tab of the discovered device properties page. Unlike the System Tasks page (which displays the task and sub-task status), this page displays the status of every system-level activity performed to complete a system task or sub-task. Some of the following details are displayed by default on this page whereas others are available through the column chooser.

Note:For more information about using lists, filters, and other UI options, see the topics under Using Lists in IT Asset Management.

Note:The Save view as feature of IT Asset Management enables you to create customized views of a page by saving the applied user interface settings. For more information, see Creating Saved Views.

Note:Flexera recommends you to use the Activity Log page only when the task is not tracked on the System Tasks page.
