Note
Event logging is performed on a best-effort basis and is not transactional. There is no guarantee that every action will be logged because events are logged after they have been processed. However, the risk of an event not being logged is minimal and is most likely associated with a larger background failure affecting other parts of the Fotoware system.
- From the Tools menu (cogwheel icon), go to Site Configuration > Activity Exports.
- Open the Events tab.
- The events available for logging are divided into two tables.
Select the events you want to log. If you select only events that are not connected to assets, continue to step 6.
-
Select events that are not connected to assets: Search, Login, and Logout.
EventID, EventTime, and ActivityType are logged for each event.
-
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 an action is moved or copied.
- Restoring or deleting a revision does not generate a log record.
Note
Event logging is configured globally. The selected event types are logged across the site and can be included in Activity Exports.
-
Upload: Uploading a new version of an asset generates an Upload event in the log.
- If you selected events connected to assets, open the Metadata tab to select metadata to log for those events. For more information, see Selecting metadata to log.
- Select Save.
