Retrieves a collection of user activity log entries in a specified time frame.

Workday Resource Information

Retrieves all user activity log entries in a specified time frame. You can filter the log entries by user and task.

The from and to parameters are required.

To tune the performance and to ensure that you retrieve the complete set of records in a time period, iteratively call the GET /activityLogging endpoint with the following recommended parameter values:

* limit=1000 (Note that the maximum value of the limit parameter has been increased from 100 to 1000.)

* offset=0 (Initially set to 0, then increment by 1000 in subsequent runs.)

* instancesReturned=1 (A lower value is more performant. The value of 1 fetches 10,000 records.)

Examples of iterative calls:
GET /activityLogging?from=2022-04-17T08:15:00Z&to=2022-04-17T09:15:00Z&limit=1000&instancesReturned=1&offset=0
GET /activityLogging?from=2022-04-17T08:15:00Z&to=2022-04-17T09:15:00Z&limit=1000&instancesReturned=1&offset=1000
GET /activityLogging?from=2022-04-17T08:15:00Z&to=2022-04-17T09:15:00Z&limit=1000&instancesReturned=1&offset=2000

Columns

Name	Type	Description
ActivityAction	String	Supported for: SELECT. The type of action that was executed.
DeviceType	String	Supported for: SELECT. The device type from the user signon used to make the request.
IpAddress	String	Supported for: SELECT. The user's IP Address from the user signon used to make the request.
RequestTime	Datetime	Supported for: SELECT. The request time of the action.
SessionId	String	Supported for: SELECT. The system ID for tracking signons from the user signon used to make the request.
SystemAccount	String	Supported for: SELECT. The system account that initiated the request.
Target_Descriptor	String	Supported for: SELECT. A description of the instance
Target_Href	String	Supported for: SELECT. A link to the instance
Target_Id	String	Supported for: SELECT. wid / id / reference id
TaskDisplayName	String	Supported for: SELECT. The action executed in the transaction.
TaskId	String	Supported for: SELECT. The Workday ID of the task executed in the transaction.
UserActivityEntryCount	Decimal	Supported for: SELECT. Returns the User Activity Count for the inputted filter parameters
UserAgent	String	Supported for: SELECT. The client browser and operating system information from the user signon used to make this request.
From_Prompt	Date	(Required) The date and time of the earliest log entry. The default timezone is UTC/GMT. The time format is "{yyyy}-{mm}-{dd}T{hh}:{mm}:{ss}Z". Example: "2021-05-18T13:45:14Z" indicates May 18, 2021, 1:45PM UTC.
InstancesReturned_Prompt	Long	This number multiplied by 10,000 determines the total number of requested user activity instances. Example: A value of 5 requests a maximum of 50,000 instances. The default and maximum values are 25. By default, the method requests the maximum 250,000 instances. To fine-tune the performance, set this parameter to a lower number. While the instancesReturned parameter controls the total number of requested instances, the limit parameter controls the number of returned instances in a paginated response.
ReturnUserActivityEntryCount_Prompt	Boolean	If true, returns only the total count of user activity instances for the specified parameters.
SystemAccount_Prompt	String	No description available
TaskId_Prompt	String	No description available
To_Prompt	Date	(Required) The date and time of the latest log entry. The default timezone is UTC/GMT. The time format is "{yyyy}-{mm}-{dd}T{hh}:{mm}:{ss}Z". Example: "2021-05-18T13:45:14Z" indicates May 18, 2021, 1:45PM UTC.
