Event Log Category Setup

Created by Duncan Harbour, Modified on Wed, 14 Feb at 2:00 PM by Hannah Whitaker

In order to use the Event Log, you need to enter Categories. As well as simply adding the Category to Databridge, you can also setup further custom Sections/Fields and settings for each one.




Adding Categories 


To start adding categories, navigate to Administration -> Standard Values -> Learner Values -> Event Log Categories. Click the Add Value button. Simply enter the value for the Category e.g. Accident, Incident, Safeguarding, Therapy Notes etc then press Save. This category is now immediately available for someone to record against in the Event Log.


Tip
We recommend checking how to edit Security for a Category so you can ensure data protection


You can add as many or as little fields as necessary for each section. To edit fields, use the tool icon next to the label. Make sure you click Save Changes after making any changes to Sections/Fields.
