The Activity log answers one question: what have I been doing in Uku? It is a running timeline of your own actions, useful for retracing your steps — when you last touched a client, which tasks you closed today, or what you changed before stepping away. This article explains where to find it, what it shows, and how it differs from the Audit log.
Who can do this
Section titled “Who can do this”- All team members can open their own Activity log on every plan.
- The Activity log is per-user — Company Admins and Company Owners see the same personal view as anyone else, not a company-wide feed. For an account-wide change history across all members, use the Audit log (Elite plan).
Activity log vs Audit log
Section titled “Activity log vs Audit log”Uku has two separate logs. The Activity log (bell icon) shows a feed of actions — what happened. The Audit log (profile menu) shows field-level diffs — exactly what changed, including the previous value and who made the change. See the full comparison: Activity log vs Audit log.
Where to find it
Section titled “Where to find it”You can open the Activity log in two ways:
- Option A — from the bell icon: top navigation → bell icon → View all → Activity log tab.
- Option B — from the Profile avatar: top navigation → Profile avatar → Activity log (desktop only).
With Option A, the bell dropdown shows your notifications rather than your activity — click View all to open the full page, then switch to the Activity log tab.
What the Activity log shows
Section titled “What the Activity log shows”Each row is one action you performed, with a timestamp. The action text is colour-coded by category:
- Task activity (blue) — tasks you created, updated, assigned, finished, commented on, or deleted.
- Template and workflow activity (purple) — task templates and workflows you created or deleted.
- Client activity (green) — clients you created, updated, assigned, deactivated, or deleted.
- Account activity (orange) — your own logins and invitations you accepted.
- Other (projects, calendar and vacation entries, notes) — actions you took on those records.
The Activity log shows what you did — action summaries without field-level detail. For change history with before/after values and undo, use the Audit log.
What the Activity log does not show
Section titled “What the Activity log does not show”The Activity log only contains actions you performed. It is not a notifications inbox, so it does not show:
- Comments or
@mentionsdirected at you. - Client Portal replies or requests sent to you.
- Inbound emails landing on your tasks.
- Approval decisions made on your vacation or absence requests.
Those are notifications — find them on the Notifications tab (bell icon → View all). See Notifications and activity log.
Loading more entries
Section titled “Loading more entries”The Activity log loads the most recent 50 entries. Scroll to the bottom and the next 50 load automatically — there is no “load more” button; scrolling keeps loading older entries 50 at a time. There is no type filter, search, or date filter on the Activity log; it is a straight chronological feed. To search or filter change history, use the Audit log, which has a full filter bar.
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”Can I see other team members’ activity?
Section titled “Can I see other team members’ activity?”No. The Activity log is personal to every user — it shows only the actions you performed, and there is no setting or role that opens a team-wide activity feed. To review what another member changed, use the Audit log (Elite plan, Company Admin or Owner) and filter by member. To stay informed of activity on specific tasks, follow them and you’ll receive notifications.
A colleague’s comment doesn’t appear in my Activity log
Section titled “A colleague’s comment doesn’t appear in my Activity log”The Activity log shows only actions you performed, so a colleague’s comment never appears there — regardless of whether you follow the task. To be notified of activity on a task (like a colleague’s comment), open the task and turn on Follow (Members section → Follow checkbox). Those updates then appear on your Notifications tab, not the Activity log. To review changes another member made to a record, use the Audit log (Elite plan, Company Admin or Owner) and filter by member.
A deleted task appears in my Activity log
Section titled “A deleted task appears in my Activity log”Deleted tasks still appear as historical entries in the Activity log — they show the original title for context, but the row is view-only and the task cannot be opened from here. To recover a deleted task, see Restore deleted tasks.
An email I sent shows “delivery failed”
Section titled “An email I sent shows “delivery failed””If an outbound email you sent from a task failed, it appears as a failed email action. A Company Admin can investigate in Settings & Apps → Emails → Outbox, which shows the SMTP error and lets you re-send.
Client Portal replies are missing
Section titled “Client Portal replies are missing”Comments, mentions, Client Portal replies, and reminders addressed to you live on the Notifications tab — just click the bell icon, or open the bell icon → View all → Notifications tab. If a Client Portal reply isn’t reaching you at all, confirm the client has access to the task in the Client Portal and that the task is enabled for Portal visibility — see Client Portal task settings.
