Tracking User Account Activity

Hello Everybody,

I was wondering if there was any way of setting something up to allow the tracking of user account activity, such as what records a user accessed and modified. I can't find very much published information about this issue.

Thanks!!!

You mention tracking two different things- which records a user "looks at" and which ones they've "modified".

On the modification side, check out the link in this post on audit logs. Very cool.

Logging which records someone looks at is a little tougher and requires you to lock down your navigation so that all record interactions are scripted (no more just scrolling from one record to another). This can be overkill in a lot of situations. Another approach would be to have some summary information about you records visible in an unscripted setting, but if someone wants to see the details of a record, they would have a to run a script to get to those details: triggering your log as part of the script.

HTH.
