> 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.
