Before you begin

Make sure you’ve:

☑️ Logged into Sense HR

☑️ Been assigned administrator permissions

The Activity feed gives administrators a chronological view of changes to user and HR records across Sense HR, making it easier to see what changed, who made the change, and when.

It includes supported changes to employee profiles, Planner records, documents, attendance, working hours and other user-related data.

There are two ways to use the Activity feed:

You can also open the full Activity feed using the Activity feed icon beside your username/avatar in the upper-right corner of Sense HR.

The Activity feed widget on the Dashboard gives you a quick view of recent changes without opening the full Activity feed.

Each entry shows a summary of the recorded activity, including:

Review recent Sense HR activity directly from your Dashboard.

The Dashboard widget shows activity from the Last 7 days by default.

Select the date range at the top of the widget and select:

The widget updates to show activity from the selected period.

If there is no activity for that period, the widget displays No activity for this period.

Click Refresh to retrieve the latest activity for the period you are currently viewing.

This lets you check for new changes without refreshing the entire Dashboard.

Click View all activity at the bottom of the Dashboard widget to open the full Activity feed.

You can also click the Activity feed icon beside your username/avatar in the upper-right corner of Sense HR.

The icon remains available as you navigate around Sense HR, giving administrators quick access to the Activity feed without returning to the Dashboard.

Click the Activity feed icon to open the full Activity feed from anywhere in Sense HR.

The full Activity feed provides an Activity log of recorded user activity and changes.

Use the filters on the left to narrow the Activity log to the information you want to investigate.

Use filters and search to investigate activity across Sense HR.

Use Date range and select:

Select Specific date range when you need to investigate activity between particular dates.

Use Action performed by and search to find the person whose activity you want to review.

Use this, for example, when you need to investigate changes made by a particular user.

Use Type of action to filter according to what happened.

Available types include:

You can select more than one type to include several kinds of activity in the same results.

Use User action to focus on a particular type of user or HR record activity.

Available actions include:

Select the filters you need, then click Apply filters.

Use Search in the upper-right corner of the Activity log to search the recorded activity.

Search matches text contained within the activity information, so you can use it to locate entries relating to a particular person, field or other recorded information.

Click Clear all to remove your current filter selections and return to the unfiltered Activity log.

If no activity matches your selections, the page displays No activity found for the selected filters.

Activity log entries summarise the recorded change. Where additional information is available, click View details to inspect it.

Depending on the activity, an entry can also include contextual Notes.

The Activity feed can show changes made to Planner records, but it does not currently show who approved a Planner request through a To Do or when they approved it.

For example, you may see the resulting change to a Planner event in the Activity feed without seeing the approval action that led to that change.

To audit a completed Planner approval, create a To do report and include:

Category and Status help you filter the report to the process you are investigating, while Actioned by and Actioned on show who completed the To Do and when.
