Monitoring and managing events is crucial for ensuring that workflows run smoothly and that actions are executed as intended. The Event Activity Logs screen provides a detailed view of the events that have been triggered within your system over a specified period.
There are two ways you can access the event activity logs:
- For an individual event.
- For all the events

The Event Activity Logs screen provides several functionalities to help you monitor and analyze event activity. Here’s how you can use filters to search the records:
-

You can use the date range picker at the top of the screen to select the start and end dates for the period you want to review.
