Activity and Needs review

The Activity page lists every change made at your site, newest first, with where it came from. When two machines change the same record at the same time, it asks you which values are right.

Read the activity list

Click Activity in the menu. Changes are grouped under Today, Yesterday, and then by date. Each line gives the time, what happened (added, edited, or removed), and the record, for example: 3:41 PM edited Load #2510 — Johnson Farms.

Settle a Needs review item

If two machines change the same record before either one sees the other’s change (say someone edits a moisture reading on the website while the scale house edits the same load), both versions are kept and you decide. A red count appears next to Activity in the menu, and a Needs review panel sits at the top of the Activity page.

  1. Click Activity.
  2. In Needs review, read the message for the record. It says whether the record was changed on two machines, removed on one, or closed on the other machine first.
  3. Compare the This computer and Other machine columns. If not every difference fits, click Open record to see the whole record.
  4. Click Keep this computer’s values or Use the other machine’s values.

The item leaves the panel and the count next to Activity goes down. Both machines end up with the values you picked.

Common problems

Check Activity at the end of a busy day. A count next to it means two machines disagree and the record needs a decision from you.
