Release activity logs
This topic describes the activity log in Digital.ai Release, which records all events occurring in a release, providing a detailed audit trail of user actions with corresponding dates and times.
The Activity logs page is available across various sections, such as templates, workflow templates, releases, workflow executions, delivery patterns, deliveries, and triggers. The layout remains mostly consistent across these areas, with subtle differences depending on the context.
Release View
Template View
To access the Activity logs page, open a release or template, select the release flow, and click Activity logs under the INSIGHTS section. You can perform the following actions:
-
View the activity logs table, which lists events with the following fields:
- Performed by: Indicates the user type that executed the action.
- Activity: Describes specific log messages, such as task creation or updates like failed, completed, or skipped activities.
Note:Log messages are trimmed if they are too long, but can be expanded using a Show more link. For specific activities like failed, completed, or skipped, a badge is displayed to make them stand out.
- Target: Specifies the activity type, showing whether the log relates to a release, phase, or task.
Note: If a task ID is present, it links directly to the task. When no task ID is available (such as for attachments), an alternative message appears.
- Time: Shows when the activity occurred (date and time). You can toggle the time column between ascending and descending order using the arrow.
