The Activity Log is a vital communication and auditing tool within the AMFG platform, located within the Communication section of individual tickets. It provides a chronological record of events, manual updates, and automated actions associated with a specific project or part.
You can find the Activity Log widget in the middle of the Ticket/Work Order Details or Part Preparation pages.
Key Features and Tracked Events
The Activity Log automatically captures a wide range of actions to ensure transparency throughout the quoting and production process:
Status Tracking via Workflow Rules: The Activity Log automatically records when a Part or Ticket (Order) status is changed through an automated Workflow Rule. This ensures a clear audit trail of system-driven updates, such as when a specific production milestone triggers a status advancement.
Estimation and Quoting: Records when a part was estimated in-house and lists the specific production parameters applied, such as technology, material, and quantities.
Manual Updates: Specifically highlights when a part price or parameters have been manually updated by a user rather than by the system's automated pricing engine by hovering over the timestamp in the top-right corner of the log.
Document History: Reflects every instance when a PDF document has been printed in the Ticket/Work Order.
Shipping and Deadlines: Logs an entry whenever an item's Shipping Deadline is manually adjusted within a Work Order.
Communication Records: Logs specific interactions, such as a customer's requests for a quote, emails to request changes (e.g., tolerance updates), and the subsequent confirmation of those updates.
Using the Activity Log for Collaboration
The log is situated alongside Messages and Production Notes, forming a complete communication suite:
Audit Trail: Use it to verify who made specific changes to production parameters and when those changes occurred.
Data Extraction Transparency: When using Sentinel AI PDF Extraction, the Activity Log will confirm if the file was "Successfully analyzed" and list the key data points extracted from the drawing's title block.
Status Synchronization: Updates to Part or Ticket information are reflected here in real-time, ensuring that all internal users and, where applicable, connected partners see the same single source of truth.
