Notes & Activity History

Every submission, personnel requisition, and employee assignment keeps a Notes tab that tells the story of the record - a running log of what happened, alongside comments people have added.

Who this is for: everyone who works a record - submitters, approvers, and admins.

Two kinds of note

KindWhat it is
Your commentsNotes you type - context for the next person, a reason, a question. Anyone with access to the record can read them.
Activity logEntries FiscFlow writes automatically as the record moves, so there's always a record of who did what, and when.

What the activity log captures

As a record moves through its workflow, FiscFlow logs the milestones automatically:

  • Submitted for approval, approved, rejected, and finalized.
  • Retracted (pulled back) and resubmitted.
  • Approval revoked - an approval undone.
  • For assignments: approved, un-approved, rejected, and resubmitted.
  • Admin override - when an administrator changes something out of the normal flow.

When you reject something, add a note explaining why - it lands right next to the automatic "rejected" entry, so the person fixing it sees the reason in context.

Notes vs. the audit trail

The Notes tab is the workflow story - milestones and comments. For a complete, field-by-field record of every change (old value → new value, who, when), see the Audit trail.
