Under the Activity History log for instances, I’d like to see when users modify records in tables manually through the Tulip web portal on the table page itself in addition to the existing actions that get logged such as column creation and record deletion.
I’m aware that table record modifications can be viewed in the record history widget in apps, but I’d like to see all table record modifications (done manually on the table webpage, not through app triggers) in the instance Activity History.
Hi Andrey, the request makes sense and we are looking at a number of ways to better answer these questions at scale.
Question for you- what sorts of data do you need to see in the activity record? Is it just that a certain user modified a record in a certain table with a certain ID? Or do you need to see the modifications as well in that instance-level view?
Hey Kevin, I would like to see the full scope of the change include the table name, record ID, field(s) and the before and after of the value(s) changed by the user.
Got it. And to make sure I fully understand this request, is it acceptable that a user would change a table record value from the Tables UI? Or would it actually be preferred that table record values should only be changes through a controlled process, which happens in an app in Tulip?
I will echo the value of this request. The record history widget is awesome for being able to debug edge cases and manual corrections which were mistakenly made. I don’t think this needs to necessarily be a part of the Activity History log, as it could create a lot of noise (e.g. CSV uploads)-- But any mechanism for accessing the underlying CDC logs of the database in a more queryable way would be awesome.
For apps where altering existing table records holding user inputs was needed, we would utilize a signature widget and user groups for a controlled process, then view those changes through the record history widget.
For my use case, users with the appropriate access would be able to change table record values from the table UI when needed and I want to view all those changes holistically across all of my instance tables through a single source on the web portal instead of an app. The Activity History log would be the ideal place for me since it already holds similar data points.
Hello,
For us this is also critical. We have to complete reviews of changes to table records and we dont see the record history widget as something which is scalable for many instances and tables. I am ok to log into each instance but I want to make sure it includes changes to table records.
thanks
