How to Search the Activity Logs

You can search in the Activity Logs using common search criteria, such as date and time ranges, activity type and user ID.

Note: You must select either a Category or User ID when you perform a search of any type.

When you search for date and time, you are searching for any action that happened on a certain date or time or within a certain time period.

You can search using any of the following time periods:

From:	To:
•Open (blank)	•DD/MM/YYYY
•DD/MM/YYYY	•Open (blank)
•DD/MM/YYYY	•DD/MM/YYYY

The search returns all the records created between the dates you enter.

Note: The date and time criteria apply to the date/time stamp on the transaction itself, not a date set in the attributes or business rules.

Using the activity as a search criteria means you are searching the transaction type, such as create, delete, activate, and duplicate.

You can also search for a specific user ID. This search only returns exact matches.

You must select a category for your search. When you search using the category and subcategory, you are limiting your search to a specific module in the system.

For example, in the Configuration module, one of the categories is Room Type. This category has several subcategories: Bed types, Capacity, Description, Main attributes, Channel mapping, and Overbooking. The list of subcategories changes, according to which category you select.

If you want to search in this category, you select Room Type from the Category drop-down list and then select the appropriate subcategory.

Note: The list of categories available to you depends on your specific user permissions.

An example of a category code would be a room type, such as DBL, or a rate plan code, such as RAC.

You can enter the code and see all the transactions that have been recorded in the Activity Logs that include that code. The search returns only exact matches of the category code.

Note: If you have not entered a user ID in the search criteria, you must search by category.

This search applies to the actual dates set in the rules or attributes, not the time the transaction occurred.

For example, if you search for viewership rules using a Begin Date of 21/04/2010 and an End Date of 25/05/2010, the system returns all the viewership rules that contain a date that falls within this period. If you leave one of the dates open, the system returns the rules that contain that single date.
