Overview of Timeline and Logs

Introduction

This article shows you how a job card timeline connects with activity logs. You also learn how Skeduler records and flags job activity according to three levels of importance.

Timeline tracking provides business managers with easy-to-access job information that helps prevent loss and theft.

For more information about logs, see:

1 Opening the job card timeline

Each job card has a timeline. That’s where Skeduler records every important job activity.

To view a job’s timeline:

  1. Scroll up to the top of the dashboard and then click Accounts on the main menu. A drop-down menu displays.
  2. Select Jobs. The Jobs page displays.
  3. Choose a job card and then click View. The job card displays. The Timeline is on the left side of the screen.

2 Reviewing the timeline

Scroll down the timeline to view every job action. The timeline records all business activity, including:

  • visits
  • quotes
  • payments
  • deleted items

Timeline activities cannot be removed. That security feature helps business managers track staff actions, improve accountability, and reduce shrinkage or theft.

The image below shows two events for a single payment.

  1. One event shows a payment recorded by Gerry on August 17.
  2. Later the same day, the payment was deleted by Rob.

3 Flagging activities

Every timeline activity is flagged. A flag means a label of importance.

Flags are not visible on the timeline. Nor can they be changed or removed by staff. Flags are visible as a search filter on the Logs page.

Timeline activities are flagged as follows:

  • Important (e.g. payments)
  • Moderate (e.g. sales)
  • Low (e.g. new site visits)

The image below shows a list of timeline events on the Activity Log flagged as Important.
