About log views

Each Kahua app has a log view that lists the records in the app. There is a default view, and in some apps, users can choose additional standard views. Additionally, users can create their own custom views for individual use.

Log view reports use the columns and order shown in the open log view so that customized views can be used to create customized reports.

Dashboard widgets use log views. To show filtered information and/or additional columns, a log view is added in the app and then selected in the view field in the dashboard set up. See the Dashboards QRG [PDF - 355 KB] for help with creating a new dashboard.

   • Sort – Customize the sort order of Log items. Multiple sort keys can be specified in a user defined order.
   • Scope – All users should choose Just Me under the Visibility dropdown. This field cannot be modified later so you must determine the correct option prior to saving. Note: Only admins and Kahua program managers should set up Log Views with the visibility set to Everyone.
