After a member has left our group... <snip> ...is there a way to obtain a history of their activities
Well
yes, although I would be interested to know what you plan to do with it once you find it! FWIW I usually have a quick look when anyone leaves just to see how active they were previously and the usual finding is "not very"!
Starting with the email notification of someone having left, copy the email address of the person concerned. Then go to
Admin >
Activity and paste that into the box above
Date faintly filled with "Search" (which will disappear). I usually search for "All Actions" which produces a list of
everything the person did. If you want to limit the search to messages posted then select Sent Message in the
Actions box.
If you want to search more generally (in terms of members who have left) then leave the Search box empty and select "Left" as the
Actions. This will bring up a list of all those who have left... unsurprisingly. At this point it can become tedious as any person you want to investigate further has to be copied and pasted into the
full Activity log for a further search on their individual activity.
One point; I don't know if this is true of Premium and Enterprise Groups but while a departed member's
group messages are stored any messages to +Owner are not.
Another point, but one
not limited to those who have left is that the Activity Log will maintain a record of uploaded Files & Photos, but links to uploaded photos
fail if the photo name was edited after the upload. The same "fail" will occur if a created album name is edited as well; I haven't put it to the test but I would not be surprised if similar "fails" arise with uploaded files. There is no obvious workaround for this, at least not one that I have found yet... but then I haven't actively researched it, and currently have no plans to do so!
