Activities

Activities are time-stamped actions taken on any GAD object. This includes creation, inspections, approval, archiving etc.

Activities are additional to the audit log. A record may be edited multiple times during one inspection, each edit is part of the audit log, but all would be associated with one inspection activity.

To assign an Activity you will be directed to the Activity summary grid. Select an existing Activity from the grid or click Create Activity from the Command bar to create a new Activity.

Filter and sort the summary grid to quickly find the existing Activity you want to use.

To associate an activity select the activity from the grid and press Save.
