Reading the History timeline

Updated May 18, 2026

History is MaintIQ's chronological record of every event — task completions, skips, work-order status changes, SOP publishes, role assignments, billing actions. It is your audit trail.

Opening History

Click History in the sidebar. You will see a reverse-chronological feed of events at the currently selected facility.

Event types

Each event is tagged with an icon and a colour:

  • 🟢 Completion — a task or work order was closed.
  • 🟡 Skip / Defer — a task was skipped or pushed.
  • 🔵 Edit — a record (SOP, task, profile) was changed.
  • 🟣 Create — a new record was added.
  • 🔴 Delete / Archive — a record was removed from default views.
  • System — automated actions (cadence created tasks, SLA escalations).

Filtering

The filter bar supports:

  • Date range — last 24 hours, last 7 days, custom.
  • Actor — a specific user or "System".
  • Type — pick any combination of the event types above.
  • Object — filter to events about a specific SOP, task, or work order.
  • Free-text search — matches against the event description.

Saved filters work the same way as on the task list — click Save view.

Event detail

Click any row to expand the full payload: old value, new value, IP address, device. This is the level of detail an auditor will ask for.

Linking from elsewhere

Most records in MaintIQ link directly into a filtered History view. The Activity tab on a work order, for example, is a History filter scoped to that work order.

Permissions

  • Everyone in the facility can read History for their own actions and for any record they have access to.
  • Admins see all History within the facility.
  • Super-admins see History across facilities.

Retention

History is retained indefinitely for compliance reasons. Even archived items keep their History.
