Runn's Activity Log helps you keep track of events associated with projects and people.
Each entry in the log is recorded based on user input (User, Integrations, or API) and includes the date/time, activity/event type, and description.
⚠️ Currently, we display activity related to projects and people. Activity related to user actions in account settings or management tasks (eg. adding roles, rate cards) is not included at this time.
⚠️ The activity log is unavailable in the Test Account. You will only see the Activity Log button in the Live Account.
How can I access the Activity Log?
You can access the main activity log from your Settings menu, Project dashboards & People dashboards.
➡️ Settings > Activity tab:
✅ Users with restricted financial permissions (specifically, those set to Restricted or None) have access to view all activities except for financial data events related to internal costs and the salaries of employees and contractors.

➡️ Filtering Activity
You can filter activity by Project or People to narrow down specific events or people. Using the arrows allows you to navigate through different time periods.
By default, the activity from the last seven days is displayed.
Professional Plan subscribers can adjust the date filters to select any range within the past 32 days.
Enterprise Plan subscribers can adjust the date filters to select any range within the past 93 days.
➡️ Activity Grouping
Activities are grouped when they have the same:
User Input (user/API/Integration),
Event Type (eg. edit person)
Subject (person/project)
Timeframe (events that occur within 5 minutes)
Editing Projects/People: Changes like edits to a person's skills or updates to project details are grouped together under the respective Subject's name.
Creating or Deleting Projects/People: When multiple people or projects are created or deleted, only the Subject's name is displayed along with the count
Assignments & Actuals: These are grouped under single projects. If you are looking for actuals or assignments related to a specific person/people, they can be filtered in the main Activity Log or in the individual person's dashboard or the project’s dashboard.
