The Activities Log List view provides a centralized interface for viewing, searching, and managing all activities and events across multiple modules within the First Due system. This comprehensive overview enables users to efficiently locate, filter, and access activities from Training, Incident Documentation, Inspections, Assets, Scheduling, Events, and Daily Log modules in a single consolidated list.
The Activities Log serves as a unified dashboard that aggregates activities from various First Due modules, eliminating the need to navigate between different sections to view department activities. This cross-module integration displays assigned training sessions, open or incomplete EPCR or NFIRS reports, scheduled inspections, completed asset or apparatus checks, time off requests, work shifts, events, and daily log activities.
The List view is specifically designed for users who need to search, filter, and analyze activities across multiple data points. It provides advanced filtering capabilities and customizable column displays to help users quickly locate specific activities or analyze activity patterns across the department.
Based on the system permissions structure, users need the following permissions to access and utilize the Activities Log List view:
Required for Basic Activities Log Access:
Note: The specific modules and activities visible in the Activities Log depend on the user's individual module permissions. Users will only see activities from modules they have access to view.Q: I searched for activities but my results seem incomplete or are missing events I know exist. What's wrong?
A: Check if the Module filter is set to a specific module instead of being empty. If the Module field is empty, it displays ALL activities from all modules (same as "Select All"). If a specific module is selected, you'll only see activities from that module. Click "Reset" to clear all filters and see everything.
Q: I can only see 2 columns but I want to see more information. How do I add more columns?
A: The system defaults to maximum 9 columns but can be adjusted. The minimum display requires 2 columns (Date and Module). You can customize the column count between 2 and 9 based on your needs. Look for column customization options in the interface to add or remove columns.
Q: When I click the eye icon on an event, why can't I edit it directly?
A: Events in the List view cannot be edited directly - they can only be viewed. The eye icon opens a popup with event details and options. To edit an event, use the "Go to Item" function in the popup, which takes you directly to the source module where you can edit based on your permissions.
Q: My CSV or Excel export is taking a long time or failing. How can I fix this?
A: Large datasets can cause export delays or failures. Apply filters to reduce the number of activities before exporting. Focus on specific date ranges, modules, or other criteria to create smaller, more manageable exports. The export function works on the currently displayed filtered list.
Q: I can't drag and drop to rearrange columns. Is this feature not working?
A: Column rearrangement should work by dragging and dropping column headers. If this isn't working, try refreshing your browser or clearing browser cache. Ensure you're clicking and holding on the actual column header, not the column content. Contact your system administrator if the issue persists.
Q: Some activities show "Go to Item" but others don't. Why is this inconsistent?
A: The "Go to Item" option availability depends on your permissions for the source module of each activity. For example, if an activity originated in the Training module but you don't have Training permissions, "Go to Item" may not be available. You'll only see this option for modules you have access to view or edit.
