The action log
The Action Log displays a summary of all the actions that have been added to a job throughout its life. The action log is useful for determining the current status of a job, who it is assigned to, how it got there, any changes that have been made along the way.
The Action Log starts recording when a job is first created, and finishes when a job is resolved and closed. It also records the following events when:
- Job details are changed
- The job is re-assigned
- The job status is changed
- Progress Notes are added to the job
- The job is escalated
The Action log appears on the job screen after the job has been logged.
