Overview

The Activity log is the shop's record. It shows what staff did in this shop, and the important things that happened, such as a new online order or a payment received. Newest entries come first.

Owners and Managers can read the log. Activity log is under Settings in the rail, and only Owners and Managers see it. If a Staff member opens the page's address, they see a card that says This page is not available for your role instead of the log.

ShopGoti keeps entries for a set period. The page does not show that period. If logging has been switched off for your shop, a warning reads Activity logging is off. Entries recorded earlier still show below it, and nothing new is recorded.
