Activity Reports

Activity reports are one of the best ways to keep track of user behaviour on the Aura system. Every action that is performed in Aura that uses an access permission or alters data is recorded to Aura’s Activity Log. This activity can be reviewed using the Activity Reports under Reports > Activity.

Report Types

There are three types of activity reports:

  • Activity Report by Activity Code: This report will group activities by the activity itself. This is very useful to identify which user has been making a particular action i.e modifying cashup entries.

  • Activity Report by Activity Filter: This report will filter activity history by the keyword you type in. If you type in “Stock”, for example, it will give you results from multiple activities such as “To Perform a Stock Take” and “To Discard Stock”. This is useful if you’re trying to identify activity in a more general area.

  • Activity Report by Employee: This will group activities by employee. Activities will be listed in chronological order. This report is good for investigating the actions of a particular user and identifying patterns of behaviour by that user over time.

Report Types
