Have you ever needed to know exactly when your employees took their last breather? Or find out who approved your employee’s time off? We’ve had those needs too, and that’s why we’re introducing our brand new Logs feature. This new Logs tab is a major feature update that’s been in the works for some time here at Vacation Tracker, and we’re so excited to finally roll it out for our users. But first…
What is Vacation Tracker?
No more back-and-forth emails for leave requests. No more spreadsheets to keep track of leaves. That’s the beauty of Vacation Tracker’s easy-to-use technology.

An Introduction to our new Logs tab
Vacation Tracker’s new Logs feature is the perfect example of an efficient and easy-to-use tool that makes time-off tracking almost effortless. Users of this page can view recent updates related to leave types with rollover days, leave type quotas, and more!
With our new Logs tab, you can now easily view a complete audit trail of all your employees’ leave activity — from approval to status updates, workweeks, PTO, and more — in one place. In simple words, Administrators are now able to see who did what, where, and when and get full visibility into their team’s leave-related activities. Users can view their own logs as well.
Here’s how it works
Every time there is a change related to your leave tracking history, this log updates itself with crucial details that often get misplaced — details like who approved the leave, the time stamp, date of approval, and more. You can search for these details based on Timeline (date period) or Filters (Custom search). Here is a list of events you can expect to see in our new Logs tab:
- Status change (when the user is activated, deactivated, or deleted)
- Changes in user data
- Updates to leave quota
- Work week changes
- Location and department change
- Accrued days
- End date/deactivation of users

You can access your Logs tab in 6 easy steps:
- Visit app.vacationtracker.io/connect

- From the left-hand side of the menu, click on your profile page
- On your profile page, click on the Logs tab
- Filter among the options you’d like to view
