Activity log

This view lists time activities for a given context (timesheet timeline bar, work-document task, equipment, ticket info, or procedure info). You can review each entry and, depending on your rights, edit, stop, or switch a still-running activity.

info

The task / work document labels (and their plurals) can vary with your workspace settings. The interface shows the labels configured for the workspace.

Activity log

Prerequisites

  • You must be signed in to Sequentia.
  • A workspace must be selected.
  • At least one activity must exist in the opening context (otherwise some entry points do nothing — e.g. a task with no time, or equipment with no activities).

Activity linked to a work document you neither created nor belong to as a memberCard is view-only (work-document access message). Stop / Change activity can still appear for a running, non-invoiced activity if you can manage timesheets — see To confirm with product.
Activity already invoicedCard is view-only; no Stop / Change activity. An Invoice #… ribbon opens the invoice.
Linked ticket is on a board you cannot accessWarning shown; opening the ticket is blocked. The card may still be editable if no other restriction applies — see To confirm with product.

Open the activity log

From the timesheet timeline

  1. Open the Timesheets page.
  2. Click an activity bar on a user’s timeline.
  3. The Activity log window opens (title + user name, help, close).

Access from the timeline

From a work document

  1. Open a work document.
  2. In the task list, click the progress / duration area (progress bar and actual / estimated time).
  3. The log opens for that task’s activities (if any; otherwise the click does nothing).

Embedded in ticket or procedure info

In the ticket info or procedure info dialog, the Activities tab shows the same content without the “Activity log” header and without a dedicated help button (contextual help is only offered when the log is opened as a window with a header).

Activities tab on a ticket

View contents

Header (window mode only)

  • Title: Activity log — followed by the name of the user linked to the first activity in the provided list.
  • Help (?) icon: opens help for this view.
  • Close (X) icon: closes the window and returns the activity list to the parent context (e.g. the timeline may refresh).

Activity list

  • Sort: newest first (descending start time).
  • Progressive display: 5 activities initially, then +5 on scroll (infinite scroll), up to a high technical cap.
  • Each row is an activity card, with the activity’s user name shown above it.

Activity card

On each card you can typically see:

ElementDescription
TimesStart (and end if finished), pencil icon
DurationLive update while the activity is still running
ClientClient name from the work document, when known
Document / taskDocument and task names; click opens the document (if the card is not view-only)
Ticket#number + title; click opens the ticket if you can access its board
InvoiceInvoice #… ribbon when invoiced; opens the invoice
NoteCollapsible Note area: text, images, links, bullets; auto-saves on change when the card is editable
LocationCompact address when set; location editor when the note is expanded (or the editor is open)

Clicking the card (outside links and the note area) opens Edit activity (times, task, delete, etc.), only if the card is not view-only.

View-only messages

When editing is blocked, a red notice explains:

  • “You cannot edit this activity for the following reason(s):”
  • then one or more causes: work-document access, permission to manage timesheets, already invoiced, or ticket board access.

Running activity (no end time)

Under the card, if the activity has no end time, is not invoiced, and you have permission to manage timesheets:

ButtonEffect
Stop (red)Stops the activity for that user. Buttons are briefly disabled while the operation runs.
Change activity (blue)Opens Choose a task to switch to another task; the new activity may be added to this log’s list.

Without that permission, or if the activity is invoiced / already ended, these buttons do not appear.

Stop and Change activity buttons

What this view does not do

  • Start an activity from scratch (no “Start” button here): use the Tools panel or Choose a task.
  • Create a work document, task, or ticket.
  • Show contextual help when embedded (ticket / procedure without this header).
  • Bypass an invoiced activity: edit, stop, and switch remain blocked.

In-app help

When the log is open as a window (header visible), the help icon opens contextual help. Help title: Help - Activity log.

To confirm with product

  • The title uses the name linked to the first activity in the received list, not necessarily the first after sort, and not a single user when the list is mixed (e.g. equipment report). Confirm the desired multi-user title.
  • Stop / Change activity do not check work-document membership, while the card is view-only without that access. Confirm whether stop / switch should also be blocked.
  • The “no access to the ticket’s board” warning is shown but does not by itself put the card in view-only mode. Confirm whether editing should be blocked in that case.
  • In embedded mode (ticket / procedure), there is no dedicated help button: confirm whether parent screens should expose help on those screens.
