adding a custom task status<\/a>.<\/p>\nIn some cases, you may want to allow assignees to decline a task. You can do this by adding a custom Declined<\/strong> status. Similarly, you can allow assignees to pause and resume work by adding a custom Paused<\/strong> status. When paired with timestamp fields, this status can record when a task is paused and resumed, calculate the total pause duration, and adjust the overall task duration by excluding time spent in the paused state.<\/p>\nThese are just a few examples of what you can accomplish with custom task statuses and activity logging. By following a similar workflow of adding fields, configuring automatic updates, and using Arcade expressions, you can capture timestamps and calculate metrics for virtually any stage of your task lifecycle. Consider what information would provide the most value to your organization and configure your workflow to capture it automatically.<\/p>\n
Activity Logging Summary<\/strong><\/h3>\nYou may want to take activity logging even further by creating a summary field for your task layer. You can use Arcade to configure your layer so that actions associated with a task are added to its log field in real time. This allows you to collect timestamped task actions all in one place. The output should be chronological and easy to read. Follow along to create an example of an activity logging summary field using the default task configuration.<\/p>\n
Creating a log summary field<\/h4>\n\n- Add a new string field to your task layer. Give it a relevant name and increase the Length<\/strong>. For this example, name the field
activity_log<\/code>, and increase the length to 4000 characters.<\/li>\n- Navigate to the layer\u2019s Tasks<\/strong> tab in Field Maps Designer. Choose the Unassigned<\/strong> layout and click the Pick up<\/strong> action button to open its Properties<\/strong> pane. Add an automatic update to the
activity_log<\/code> field. Click the gear next to Calculated Expression<\/strong> and create a new expression. Give the expression a relevant name, such as “Log activity”.<\/li>\n- In the Arcade editor<\/strong>, you will assign corresponding task properties to variables and dynamically display them in a return statement. For this example, type the following text into the Arcade editor<\/strong>. Make sure field names match exactly.\n
\n
\/\/ Get the existing activity log from the original feature.\r\n\/\/ If the log is empty, this will simply return an empty dictionary.\r\nvar events = Dictionary($originalFeature.activity_log);\r\n\r\nvar startStatus = $originalFeature.esritask_status;\r\n\r\n\/\/ Convert the original task status into an activity label.\r\nvar activity = When(startStatus == 0, 'Picked Up',\r\n startStatus == 1, 'Started',\r\n startStatus == 2, 'Completed',\r\n '');\r\n\r\nvar assignee = DomainName($feature, 'esritask_assignee');\r\nvar nowFormat = Text(Now(), 'MM\/DD\/YYYY HH:mm:ss');\r\n\r\nvar event = activity + \" by \" + assignee;\r\n\r\n\/\/ Add the new activity to the existing log.\r\nevents[nowFormat] = event;\r\n\r\nreturn Text(events);<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n- Next, navigate to the <\/span>Assigned <\/b>layout and select the <\/span>Start <\/b>action. Create a new <\/span>Automatic <\/b>update to the activity log field in the <\/span>Properties <\/b>pane. Click the gear to calculate an expression. You can reuse the \u201cLog activity\u201d expression that you created in the previous step.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Repeat this process for the <\/span>Finished <\/b>action in <\/span>In progress <\/b>layout.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Be sure to save your changes.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
To make the activity log more readable , you may want to add a pop-up element, formatted as a<\/span> fields list. One advantage to this approach is it will be supported across the Esri ecosystem. Follow the following steps to configure your pop-up as seen below.<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2978146,"id":2978146,"title":"Activity log pop-up formatted as a fields list","filename":"Image3B.png","filesize":44311,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Image3B.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/field-maps\/field-mobility\/arcgis-field-maps-take-tasks-further-with-time-stamps-and-activity-logging\/image3b","alt":"The Activity log pop-up showing the time the task was pick up by, started by, and completed by a user.","author":"460324","description":"The Activity log pop-up showing the time the task was pick up by, started by, and completed by a user.","caption":"Activity log pop-up formatted as a fields list","name":"image3b","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2978139,"date":"2026-07-24 15:06:04","modified":"2026-07-24 15:07:07","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":392,"height":370,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Image3B-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Image3B.png","medium-width":277,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Image3B.png","medium_large-width":392,"medium_large-height":370,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Image3B.png","large-width":392,"large-height":370,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Image3B.png","1536x1536-width":392,"1536x1536-height":370,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Image3B.png","2048x2048-width":392,"2048x2048-height":370,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Image3B.png","card_image-width":392,"card_image-height":370,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Image3B.png","wide_image-width":392,"wide_image-height":370}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"\n- Open Map Viewer and select your task-enabled layer.<\/li>\n

Activity logging can help task records become a valuable source of insight. By automatically capturing timestamps, durations, and task events, you can reduce manual documentation while gaining a clearer understanding of how work is completed. I hope you are inspired by these techniques, and I encourage you to explore their flexibility and customize them to fit the unique needs of your organization.<\/span><\/p>\n"}],"related_articles":"","show_article_image":false,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/07\/NewAL.jpg","wide_image":false},"yoast_head":"\nArcGIS Field Maps: Take Tasks Further with Time Stamps and Activity Logging<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Learn how to incorporate activity logging techniques into a task workflow in order to gain visibility of your team\u2019s processes.
