Status logs allow users to enter quick notes, updates, reminders or next steps on a business object in a timeline format. Within a status log, the user can also create a follow-up activity for himself, and that activity will appear in the Activities tab.

The system also automatically updates the status log of an object based on certain updates to its container. Here are the list of actions that automatically generate updates in the Status Log:

• Completing a milestone
• Completing an activity
• Completing a review
• Changing the status of an object
• Archiving an object
• Re-opening an archived object
