User activity log

Hi all,

I'm a beginner of Appian.

I am required to get a user activity log such as "approved", "reassigned" , "reject" and so on...

Do you know how to get these log?

Am I need to create a new record type to get the information?

My client requires to get them and download as csv...

Hope somebody give me advice...

Best regards,

This is what record events are made for.

The most simple way to a CSV is, to create a web API and follow the "CSV Download" example. Then use a safe link to point to that API endpoint for downloading the file.

Do you mean, user would be approving, reassigning or rejecting a task, and you need to be saved in db so that you can make it available on screen for users to be downloaded in CSV format?

if so I dont' think we have something in built which tracks this. You would need to save these details in a table so that you can expose it later for users to download it.

Thank you for your reply.

Regarding my question, your understanding is correct.

I've read the article below about events display..

https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/24.3/record-events.html

As the article, I have to do some setting to record events such as approving, reassigning...,right?

If you know any detail , it would be helpful to have your reply.

Anyway, thank you!!

Yes. you are on right track. Eventually this data is getting stored in DB.
