ServiceM8’s Account Activity log is a feature which gives you visibility of who is accessing your ServiceM8 account, when, and significant actions they have taken. This lets the Account Owner and senior staff in the business keep an eye on access and changes across the account, and provides the ability to watch out for unusual or suspicious activity.

​
Where to view Account Activity

To view your account activity log, in your Online Dashboard, go to Settings > ServiceM8 Account > View Account Activity: Any user who has access to ServiceM8 Account can view the Account Activity log. The log stores data for 90 days, after which it is automatically cleared. Account activity data cannot be exported.

​

  • Action: the event or activity carried out on the ServiceM8 account (see a full list of actions in the table below).
  • Actioned By: the ServiceM8 user whose account was used to complete the action.
  • IP Address: the Internet Protocol address of the wifi, mobile, or broadband network that was used to access ServiceM8 to complete the action.
