Activity Log
What is the activity log feature in Zoho People?
Every day, numerous actions take place within the Zoho People account. Manually tracking these changes can be time-consuming and challenging.
The activity log feature in Zoho People simplifies this process by automatically tracking and storing details of all changes made in the account, retaining the information for up to six months.
This feature also records the user responsible for each action, ensuring transparency and providing a reliable audit trail for accountability and compliance purposes.
