The Activity Log allows building staff to record notable events and incidents as they occur throughout the day. It provides a centralized, chronological record that helps property and building teams maintain visibility, accountability, and continuity across shifts. Entries are created manually and are visible to authorized users once the feature is enabled.

Activity Log entries can be used to document a wide range of building activity, including:

Front desk or lobby observations

Incidents or issues that do not require a work order

Notes associated with a tenant, household, or specific location

General building activity that may be useful for future reference

Each entry captures who recorded the activity, when it occurred, and any relevant contextual details.

The Activity Log supports manual entry creation with date and time, notes, and optional references, and displays entries in a searchable, filterable table. Logged activity can be exported to CSV for reporting or record keeping, and entries can only be edited by the user who created them to help preserve accountability.

User Roles

Building Admins can configure the module

Reservation Manager, Security Manager, Building Engineer, Engineering Manager, Building Manager, and Building Admins can add and view Activity Log entries.

👉 Note: If you do not see Activity Log in your building dashboard, please reach out to your Customer Success Manager or email techsupport@cove.is.
