What the Log Tracks
Each entry records:
- Date of Change: When the status changed
- Previous Status: What status they had before
- New Status: What status they changed to
- Changed By: Which user made the change
- Reason/Notes: Why the change was made
Common Status Transitions
- In Process → Active (new member approved)
- Active → Inactive (membership lapsed)
- Inactive → Active (member renewed/rejoined)
- Active → Suspended (temporary hold)
- Suspended → Active (suspension ended)
Why the Log Matters

Adding Manual Log Entries
While most entries are created automatically when status changes, you can add manual entries to document significant events or corrections.
