Property management involves constant data changes: rent is paid, leases are signed, work orders are closed, and units become vacant.

To help you keep track of this chaotic flow of information, the bottom of your Main Dashboard features the Recent Activity Feed.

What is the Activity Feed?

The Activity Feed is a chronologically ordered list of the 10 most recent actions taken inside your Landager account.

For every major event, the system logs:

  • What happened (e.g., "Manual Payment Logged")
  • When it happened (Exact Date and Timestamp)
  • Who it involved (e.g., "Sarah Smith - Unit 4B")

What Operations are Logged?

The system automatically writes a log entry for critical operational workflows, including:

Financial Actions

  • A rent payment is recorded.
  • An expense is logged.
  • A rent charge is marked as Paid.

Contractual Actions

  • A new Lease is created.
  • A Lease is renewed or terminated.
  • A Lease document is attached.

Operational Actions

  • A new Property or Unit is created.
  • A Maintenance Request is submitted.
  • A Maintenance Request is marked "Completed".

Why the Activity Feed Matters

While it might seem like a simple list, the Activity Feed is actually a vital management tool.

  1. Spotting Data Entry Errors: If you log in on Tuesday morning and the Recent Activity Feed says "Lease Terminated - Unit 2A," but you didn't intend to terminate the lease for Unit 2A, you immediately know an error was made and you can investigate instantly.
  2. Reviewing the Day: If you've been updating records all afternoon, you can glance at the feed to confirm your recent changes were saved.
  3. Dispute Arbitration: If a tenant claims, "I handed you my rent check on the 2nd," you can check the recent activity to see exactly what time that payment was manually entered into the system.

Note that logs are kept for a limited time and are not a tamper-proof audit trail. The dashboard simply shows the 10 most recent activity items to help you stay on top of your portfolio.
