Understanding Timelines in Zoho IoT: A Comprehensive Guide

Understanding Timelines


While the Audit Logs track activities and actions performed across all records in the Zoho IoT application in a chronological order, the Timeline feature focuses on specific records, detailing all actions taken on individual records. These details are helpful in tracking and analyzing the actions performed on particular managed entity, alarm rule, datapoint, etc.
 
The activities in the timeline can be viewed from the Timeline tab in the particular managed entities' information page. Every activity performed and triggered on the managed entity is displayed in chronological order here.

The below tables provide the list of actions that are logged and displayed in the Timelines section in the application:

1. Details of actions performed on managed entities such as devices, assets, and locations.
