Other Settings
You need to go to Administration Application to the Other Settings section.
You will see the list of all modules with two other columns: Allow History Tracking and Allow Users Mark Items as Private.
Activity History Tracking
eWay-CRM allows you to track history of all changes that were made on each item. for example, if a user make a change on address of a contact, all users can see what the change was, who did it and when.
Administrator can set what modules' history will be tracked.
In the other settings, you see the list of all modules which history can be tracked. Just mark all modules you want to track. If you are implementing GDPR in your business, we recommend to track history of changes on contacts, companies, deals and projects, but choice is yours.
As soon as you mark some module, history of changes on all its items will be saved.
Users have easy access to this history in the item dialog. If the tracking for the module is turned on, just open the dialog, for example contact, whose history of changes you want to display. You will see the History icon in the dialog ribbon.
History icon on dialog will be shown only to users who have rights to see History. You can set permissions in the History column of Module Permissions.
Click the History icon and you will see the list of all changes that where done on this item since the tracking on the module is turned on.
