The logs added by the Footprints module will allow you to track changes made to individual project objects (Tasks, Milestones, Files, Discussions, Notebooks) and to follow activity in user profiles.
Here's what you can track with Footprints:
- History of Changes can be found in the Options menu of each project object in activeCollab. This feature is especially useful when one of the properties of an object has been changed - you will be able to see who has made this change and when.
- Access Logs are available in the Options menu of all project objects. Use this log to find out who has downloaded a File or reviewed an article.
- Security Logs are located in the User's Profile. This option displays all actions performed by the user and the actions performed on the account (profile updates, permission and role changes, etc.).
- User Sessions can also be accessed on the user's Profile page. If you notice that a user account has been compromised, or wish to exclude a person from activeCollab, you can end their user session immediately.
