The activity log is a tool available to project administrators to see information on all activities in the project.
The log shows information about the general activity in the project across all modules and users. Project administrators can use this to track activities if they need clarification regarding specific activities in the project.

How to extract specific information from the log
The log stores information about all project activities, which can make the list view appear crowded with too much information. To find the activity you are looking for, it is important to use the search and filter functions.
To use the search bar, type in keywords in the search bar. The search will search across all types of parameters.
To use the filter, go to the activity and select Add filter:

In this window, choose the parameter you want to filter by and click 'OK'. Like other list views in Dalux, you need to select the specific values for the parameter to see the results. To further refine the results, you can apply additional filters by repeating the steps above.
Export data
You can export the data from the activity log. To do so, go to the activity log and click 'Export':
