Tuesdays with Tadabase on a Wednesday

:jack_o_lantern: :coffee: Pumpkin spice season has commenced and our team is satiating their sweet tooth with this week’s update. Let’s check in:

:ear: Thanks for all the great feedback with the logs! We’re continuing to roll it out and push it to more servers and opening up the access.

:toolbox: Our engineers are sharing that:

:eyeglasses: App side logs are now live! This powerful feature brings greater transparency and control to your users.

App-side logging allows users to view key logs directly within your app, such as tracking login attempts, page views, and file access. You can also apply advanced filtering options, including user IP addresses, record IDs, and page details, to provide more targeted insights.

Read more on this update here.

:question: For more information on how to implement this feature in your app, see our detailed support article here.

:hook: We’ve updated our Webhook Catcher so that it now supports accepting attachments like from an email parser.

:jigsaw: Plugin of the week:

Date Range Field Auto Duration Setter Plugin. This plugin simplifies the management of date range fields by automatically selecting the appropriate duration format—hours or days—based on the data.

This plugin is ideal for applications where time tracking or duration calculation is required, such as project management or scheduling systems. It helps prevent errors by automatically selecting the correct duration format, making form submissions more efficient and accurate.

:end: That’s everything for this week, Tadabasers. Happy building and see you next time! :facepunch:

So maybe I’m missing something, but all I can get out of the logs is a simple table of records sorted by date & time. No grouping / totals / searching / roll-up fields / detail pop-up / linking to user records / export to CSV. Am I missing something on the implementation where all this is available?

I’d love to be able to do simple totals and groups here - things like “Logins / User for past 30 days”, or “File Downloads by User for past 7 days”. Right now I can’t even search the data by user so finding useful management metrics here isn’t possible yet.

As a use case example, I’d really like to be able to create a nightly email that showed tables of things like “who logged in today?” and “was anyone more active than usual?” and “how may files were downloaded today?”.

Hoping this is just the first roll-out and all the functionality that is available with other tables is coming shortly.

Hello @DJ_Cosmo,

You are correct, it is limited in many ways given that the Logs is just another table so im not sure why the components in the builder are so restricted. Charts also cannot read Logs table and also cant build a table connection to fetch and store Logs in a bespoke logs table. heres what I got so far.
