Event Log Overview

Searching the Event Log or a volunteer's Notes tab

It is sometimes useful for an organization to know when certain actions were taken in their Volgistics account. The Event Log can often provide this insight. Generally, events are logged only when they are related to system access and security; volunteer record operations; account management, and significant changes to Setup. Unfortunately, logging every single action in an account is not practical due to the additional processing and storage requirements this would introduce.

Starting from the most recent event in the account, the Event Log provides the date, time, event, a brief description, the System Operator name under which the event was carried out, and the host IP address.

Example of Event Log Entries

Follow these steps to view your account's Event Log:

  1. Choose Setup from the menu.
  2. Click on Account Management.
  3. Click on Event Log.

Older Event Log Entries

Because of the length Event Logs can grow to, Volgistics moves older entries off-line periodically. Account holders can still access the complete Event Log if needed, though, by writing to the Volgistics Team. If you need to see older entries, we require an Administrator level System Operator to request the older entries by submitting a help inquiry from the Help E-mail tab of the Volgistics mailbox. There are detailed directions in the Contact Support help topic.

Here is a list of events Volgistics tracks arranged alphabetically by category. Please note that some of the events are no longer tracked, but have been included on the list in case you have an older account.

Tip!

If you're looking for specific events in your log, you can speed things up by using your web browser's Find feature. This can be activated by holding down the Control (Ctrl) key on your keyboard and pressing the F key.

Deleted service record and Edited service record

Starting September 4, 2018, the Description column shows details about which volunteer record and service record was updated or deleted. For example, if an Edited service record event has V#22018 H#23939921 in the Description column, it means the volunteer record with the number 22018 had service entry number 23939921 edited. The service entry number shows when you click the Edit link by a service entry on the Service tab of the volunteer's record. You can learn more about this in the Tracking Service Changes section of the Edit Service Entries help topic.
