Selecting activities to log
Learn how to select activities to log for Activity Exports.
14. October 2026
Note
Event logging is performed on a best-effort basis and is not transactional. There is no guarantee that every action will be logged, as Activity Exports logs the event after it has been processed. However, this risk is minimal, and if it does occur, it is most likely due to a larger background failure that affects more parts of the Fotoware system.
- From the Tools menu (cogwheel icon), go to Site Configuration > Activity Exports.
- Open the Events tab.
- Select the events to log.
The events available to log are divided into two tables:
-
Select events that are not connected to assets: Search, Login, and Logout.
EventID, EventTime, and ActivityType are logged for all three events.
-
Select events that are connected to assets: Delete, Metadata edit, Crop, Upload, Download, Workflow, Order, View asset details, and Place.
ArchiveId, ArchiveName, FileName, AssetHref, and PreviewUrl are logged for each event.
Upload: Uploading a new version of an asset generates an Upload event in the log.
Order: An Order event is not logged until the user downloads the assets they have ordered.
Workflow: The workflow name and type (action or marker), as well as the destination archive name, are logged when moving or copying an action.
Restoring or deleting a revision does not generate a log record.
- Select the events you want to log. If you only select events that are not connected to assets, continue to step 6.
Note
Event logging is configured globally. The selected event types are logged across the site and can be included in Activity Exports.
- If you have selected events connected to assets, open the Metadata tab to select metadata for the selected events. For more information, see Selecting metadata to log.
- Select Save.
