Abstract

Abstract A method is disclosed for providing an activity history for a selected object within an electronic network having multiple users, only certain of which have access to the selected object. An activity log is created for a selected object in response to a request from the object owner or a designated user having access to that object. Thereafter, the activities of all users are monitored with respect to the selected object and an indication of each activity is automatically stored within the activity log. The requesting user/owner may display or print the activity log upon request in order to provide a listing of the activities for subsequent review. The requesting user/owner may also request an alert message which is automatically transmitted to the requester in response to any activity with respect to the selected object.
