View your Activity Log and Summary
Learn how to get an overview of your imported and exported products and applied rule boxes using the Activity feature in Productsup.
Introduction
With the Activity feature, you can keep track of the following:
All your applied, edited, and deleted rule boxes
All added or deleted dataflow connections
The number of monthly maintained and exported products.
Locate the Activity page
To access the Activity page, go to Activity from your account's, project's, or site's main menu.
If you access the Activity page from the account level, you can see two (2) tabs:
The Activity Log tab displays all activities related to rule boxes applied to your data.
The Activity Summary tab shows the number of monthly maintained and exported products for an account.
If you access the Activity page from the project or site level, you can see only the Activity Summary tab with the number of monthly maintained and exported products for each site in each project.
Activity Log
Activity Log displays all events connected with adding, editing, pausing, or deleting rule boxes and adding or deleting dataflow connections.
Your Activity Log displays a table containing the following information:
Activity - The name of the logged event.
Event type - The type of activities performed with rule boxes or dataflow connections, such as Add , Edit, and Delete. The current version doesn't show the scheduling of rule boxes and changes by the Dataflow versions.
Location - The project and site of the event.
Timestamp - The time the event occurred based on the timezone selected in your profile. See Set up user profile time zone.
User - The name and email of the user who performed the activity.
Whenever you add, delete or edit a rule box in Data View or Dataflow, you can see your actions logged in Activity Log. To find and view a rule box activity:
Search for an activity by keyword or date.
Select a necessary rule box activity row and view the details:
Rule box name
Change time
Values entered
Rule box attributes
Stage
Before and After values.
Whenever you add or delete the connections between attributes in Dataflow, you can see your actions logged in Activity Log. To find and view a dataflow connection activity details:
Search for an activity by keyword or date.
Select a necessary dataflow connection activity from the list and view the details:
The type of the connection activity
The export name, if the activity occurs between the intermediate and export stages.
Between which stages the activity occurred: import-intermediate or intermediate-export.
The names of connected or disconnected attributes at each stage.
Activity Summary
Your Activity Summary displays two (2) KPIs:
Maintained Products - The average monthly number of imported products per site, project, or account, depending on from which level you access the page. The platform calculates the average number of products in the Import and Intermediate stage and displays the higher of the two numbers. See a calculation example in the following table.
Exported Products - The total monthly number of exported products per site, project, or account, depending on from which level you access the page.
Note
The platform keeps your data for one (1) year only.
The Activity Summary tab shows you the maintained and exported products for a selected month per project when you are at the account level. But if you access the Activity Summary tab from the project level, you can see the maintained and exported products per each site within this project. And if you access it from the site level, the Activity Summary tab displays the maintained and exported products only for the current site.

To view your import and export activities for a certain month, choose the month from the drop-down menu in the upper right corner.

Example of maintained products calculation:
In the following table, you can see that the platform triggered run four times during the month and imported 7,525 products on average (30,100 divided by 4). At the same time, the platform passed 10,000 products on average to the Intermediate stage (20,000 divided by 2). Since the Intermediate average is higher than the Import average, the Activity Summary displays 10,000 as the number of Maintained Products for that month.
Event | Product count on Import | Product count on Intermediate | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Run #1 |
|
| The platform triggered an import, but the file was faulty and only imported 100 out of 10,000 products. The platform passed nothing to the Intermediate and Export stages. |
Run #2 |
|
| The platform triggered an import again and imported all products successfully. The platform passed nothing to the Intermediate and Export stages. |
Run #3 |
|
| The platform triggered an import and export for all products and passed them to the Intermediate and then to the Export stage. |
Run #4 |
|
| Scheduling triggered another data import and export successfully passing all imported products. |
|
| Average Maintained Products. |
Note
The Activity Summary data might differ from your invoice if you moved a site from your testing or sandbox project to a live project. For example, in January, the sandbox site had 1,000 maintained products. You moved this project to live in February. Now, if you select January to review Activity Summary for January, you see 1,000 maintained products under the live project, even though in that month, they belonged to a sandbox project.

You can download the Activity Summary data as a CSV file for one of the past 12 months as follows:
