Is it possible to pass some text to Activity Log

[lingamgunta_mah]

Is it possible to pass some text to the 'activity log' directly with out saving the text to any of the fields in the table. As far as i know in a table form if we add a 'Activity Log' to it then we can configure only the fields available in that table or it's parent table fields.

Can some one help me on this, if it is achievable in Geneva release?

Thanks,

Mahesh.

Hi Farukh Khan,

  I am having this requirement for cmdb_ci_hardware table where we don't have any OOB Journal type filed.So we have created   a custom 'Journal input' filed and added this filed to 'Activity Log'. So what ever the text we pass to Journal filed it's getting tracked in the 'Activity Log'. So now my client is not happy to have the custom filed and they want to send the text directly to the 'Activity Log'.

Hi Mahesh,

Are you using now the out of box comments field which is a journal field.

If yes so whenever comments are added to this field, they will be tracked since it is a journal field.

Can you mention your complete requirement here.

Mark my reply as Correct and also hit Like and Helpful if you find my response worthy.

Thanks

Hi Ankur,

I have this requirement for CMDB tables where we don't have any Journal type OOB filed. Also my client don't want us to add any custom journal filed. I am looking for something to pass data directly in to the activity log with out storing this text to any other fields.

Thanks,

Mahesh.

Not sure if you've seen my previous reply:

Activity log is based on Activities (filtered) UI formatter, its just retrieving data from several tables, it doesn't store data.

So, what you want is not possible on Activity log as it's not a field to store data.
