Activity Lists allow you to view reports of all Pepperi activity in your company.

Watch a product training webinar on with use cases and how-tos: Product Education Webinar - Reports and Activity Lists.

You may create as many lists as you need, and configure their permissions so they are displayed to the relevant users (managers, buyers, reps, etc.). Admins also have access to Audit logs to view the trail of data changes on orders and activities.

Examples of Activity List reports:

• Submitted Sales Orders over the past 6 weeks
• Orders still In Creation by Storefront buyers placing self-service orders
• Orders over $5,000.00 submitted by customers
• Quotes that are still open for your top customers
• Photos taken at stores (in a cards view list with enlarge-able thumbnail images)
• A map view of the visits performed at stores by sales reps, with locations of the visits displayed as pins on the map based on geolocation at the time of the visit. (Map view Activity Lists are currently supported on the mobile app on iOS devices and on the Web app, and not on Android devices)

List View Type - 

• Table - configurable table list view
• Card - a card view with a thumbnail image, ideal for listing photo activities
• Details - activity information on the left pane, when you click on the activity, it's details are displayed on the right pane (similar to an email client).
• Line - taller lines that can display more fields, ideal for mobile phone screens that can't display wide tabular lists.
• Map - activities will be displayed as pins on the map. You must capture the geolocation in the Workflow of the Activity/Transaction in order for the pin to be displayed (see Capture Geolocation action in Workflow). Clicking on the pin will open a preview of the activity with a "More details" link to drill down to the full screen of the activity with all the details. Make sure to configure the "List View Configuration" layout so that fields will be displayed when clicking on the pin (otherwise no pins will show on the map).

Date Range - if you wish you can predefine the date range of activities that will be displayed in the list. The date range can be set based on any date field, for example:

• Creation Date
• Action Time 
• Delivery Date
• Account Creation Date
• Custom date fields
• more. . 

For example: all activities submitted during the past 2 weeks, or activities whose creation date is in the last month.

Sort By - define which field the activities will be sorted by, and indicate ascending or descending

Filter - filter the activities to be displayed in the list by any field, including custom fields. Add as many logical combinations of fields to define the types of activity you wish to see in this list, using "And" and "Or" operators. You may later modify the pattern of and/or in the editor below the filters.

Common filter examples:

Filter by Activity Type Name - to filter the types of Activities that should be displayed in this list

Filter by Status - to filter the status of the Activities that should be displayed in this list

Filter by a custom field 

   

Save the list definition, and then continue to the Configuration tab.

 

Configure the List View

Once you created the list and filters above, click Save and you will be brought to the configuration tab. 

List View is where you configure the fields that will appear in each entry of the list. 

Edit the List View and add the fields that you want to appear in this type of list.

Type Table - will display the fields in columns

Type Card - will display the fields laid out in a thumbnail boxed area

Type Details - will display the fields in the left pane

Type Line - will display the fields in a tall line, you can fit the fields into the line as you require

Type Map - will display the fields in the preview pop up when clicking on a pin on the map, with a "More details" link to the full activity.

 

Configure the list Smart Search

The list can be filtered in the app and on the web by filtering by the relevant fields in its Smart Search. Each list has its own filtering fields.

Configure the Smart Search to include the fields you wish to filter the list by. For example you may want the list to be search-able by the Sales Rep that created the activities. In this case, ass "Sales Rep Name" to the Smart Search layout.

 Configure the List Totals

A Totals box will appear at the top of each list. You can configure any numerical field to be totaled for all the listed Activities. For example, the Grand Total for all orders, or any custom field you have added for totals.  Configure this field in the "Totals Box" layout.

Expanded Totals

You may also configure additional numerical fields to be totaled, including custom fields. Expanded totals are displayed on the webapp in the menu that is opened below the Total box, and on the mobile app in the footer of the Activity LIst. Configure these fields in the "Expanded Totals" layout.

 

 

Configure the Permissions (which profiles can view the lists)

Configure the lists that should be available for the profile. When viewing the Activities on the device or Web App the lists each profile has access to will be presented in the list selection for them to choose from.

 

Add Activities button to the Home Screen so users can access the lists

Users will access the list via the Activities button from their Home Screen (mobile app and WebApp). 

Make sure that "Activity List" is added to the layout of the App Home Screen configuration. (for details on App Home Screen configuration: App Home Screen Configuration).

It's located in the "General" group of fields.

You may rename it to any label you wish. For example: "Reports", "View History", etc..

Add a specific Activity List as a shortcut from the Home Screen

You can also add a shortcut to a specific Activity List you have created from the Home Screen. 

The Activity Lists are located in the "Activity Lists" group of fields.

When adding a specific list, it will be directly opened (without having to select it from the menu).

 

Audit Trail Log

Admin users can track the information that has been changed on customers, orders, forms or contacts, who made the changes, and when they were made.

Any fields that have been changed can be tracked in the Audit Log. Here are just a few examples:

• Address change on an Account
• Item quantity changed on an order
• Price change on an order

To access the log, select the object in the relevant list - Activity/Contacts/Account - and select "Audit Log" from the menu.

The fields that were changed, the user who made the changes, and the date and time the changes were made will be displayed in the log. 

*Coming soon - export log to Excel

 

Status History and Change Status

Track the status changes an Order/Activity goes through as it proceeds in the Workflow. Select an Activity and select "Status History" from the menu. 

For each change you will see the status, the information of the user who changed the status and the client that the user made this change from (iPad, Android, Web Admin, etc.).

The order below was created and submitted by the rep, and then revised and re-submitted by the admin:

 

Change status allows you to manually change the status of an Activity/Transaction. Note that status changes in the Activity List will not trigger any Activity or Transaction Workflow actions associated with this status change.

For example, if your Workflow runs a Webhook when the order status changes from In Creation to Submitted, and you change the status to Submitted via the Activity List, it won't run the Webhook. However, if you open the order and click on the Submit button the Workflow actions for this status change will be triggered.
