About Events

Tally can optionally track event histories for tallies. If event tracking is enabled on a tally set, all the tallies in the set will keep a full history of events effecting the count. This includes increments, resets, etc.

Event Types

The following events types are tracked:

  • increment: Add to count
  • decrement: Subtract from count
  • reset: Reset to initial value
  • set: Set to a specific value

These are track across devices, and supported for all various ways of changing tally values, like widgets and Shortcuts actions.

Event Data

Each event tracks the time it occured, the type and source device, current count after the event as well as the amount of change applied by the event…and the target value at the time of the event (which could change over time).

NOTE: Events are not a transaction history. They snapshot the change at the time it occurs, but downloading and reviewing the event history might not always reflect the current state of the tally – as tracking can be enabled and disabled, events deleted, or conflicting events could be tracked across different devices.
