Review a comprehensive history of actions executed from Manage Exceptions and Assets Not Reporting.

The Action Log provides a comprehensive audit trail for actions that are executed in the system from Manage Exceptions and Assets Not Reporting. The Action Log is an inquiry-only page that supports review of historical actions that cannot be modified. Actions that complete successfully will be stored in the Action Log. Actions that end completely in error will not be added to the action log. It is possible, however, for an action to end in success and failure. For example, when an action attempts to email more than one person, if one person has an email defined and one does not, then part of the actions completes, while part does not. In that case, a row would exist in the error log as well as the action log.

Use the Action Log Inquiry page (IT_ACTN_INQ) to review a comprehensive history of actions executed from Manage Exceptions and Assets Not Reporting.
