Daily Activity
Daily Activity allows you to search for a day and see a log of every event that occurred within CCHD. Each event is listed with a Timestamp for when it occurred, which User ID responsible for the event, and an Event Log that details what happened.
The Log information is written in a language that may not be easily understood by the casual Admin, so if you have any questions or need help tracking down any changes you can reach out to the Spectrio Support Team for assistance.
If you don't see a User associated with the event, that most likely is an automation on the back-end that is running, like when Red Core updates content daily or weekly.
Campaigns
The Campaigns section displays all Campaigns in CCHD and when they were last updated.
Groups

House Keeping
