Reference: Activity History

Trash Flow tracks many changes to customer accounts; these are generically referred to as “customer events.” Not all these are relevant to all businesses—if you don't have Trash Flow's Routing module, for example, you won't see any route events. A brief description of each event is listed below. The Activity History tab lists these chronologically with the newest entries at the top; the order when choosing fields for the Customer Event Report depends to some extent on which modules of Trash Flow you have. The list below is alphabetical for ease of search.
