User Permission Needed: Account Administrator
Overview
With Recent History, Account Administrators can review the last 120 days of activity in Kantata OX. Recent History provides detailed information about what changed, when it changed, and who changed it. You can see changes to project settings, task updates, updated or deleted scheduled hours, and much more. You can use Recent History to monitor activity within your account and across multiple projects to ensure that your users are following the proper processes.
NOTE
At least 120 days of history are always available, but the oldest month of history only becomes unavailable when a new month begins.
For example, on October 15, history from June, July, August, and September is available (e.g. 4 months + 15 days). On November 1st, June history becomes unavailable; July, August, September, and October history remain available as November proceeds.
The Recent History page displays the following information for each event:
