Log Information & Table Columns

Each row in the log table represents a point transaction, displaying the following columns:

  • User: Name and username of the user (clicking the link opens the user profile editor).

  • Amount: The amount credited (+green badge), debited (-red badge), or zero (gray badge).

  • Balance After: The total user point balance immediately following the transaction.

  • Reason: The human-readable reason for the transaction (e.g. Vote cast, Vote received, Entry created, Manual Adjustment, Purchase).

  • Contest: Title and link to the associated contest (if applicable).

  • Entry: Title and link to the associated entry/participant (if applicable).

  • Note: Optional custom note explaining the transaction.

  • Created Date: Exact date and timestamp when the transaction occurred (d.m.Y H:i:s).

  • ID: Unique log record ID.


Filtering & Auditing Log Records

Use the date picker tools and search filters above the table to narrow down log entries:

  • Begin Period / End Period: Filter transactions within a specific date and time range.

  • Search Bar & Search Tools: Filter transactions by user name, reason, contest, or entry.

The transaction log is read-only to maintain complete audit trail integrity. Individual log entries cannot be edited or deleted.
