This product provides two viewlets that provide a log of who has joined and left a group. The viewlets are registered for the Members page¹.

There are two viewlets:

Summary viewlet:

A summary of the joining and leaving events, shown to everyone that can see the page.

Detailed viewlet:

The details of who joined and left, shown to just the administrators.

The summary viewlet is designed to show people how much churn there is in the membership of the group. For each month it shows:

• The total membership of the group,
• How many people joined, and
• How many people left.

The details about who joined and left is shown in the detailed viewlet.

The detailed viewlet shows, for each month:

• The total membership of the group,
• How many people joined, and
• How many people left,
• Who joined and why, and
• Who left and why.

For privacy reasons only the administrators are shown the detailed viewlet.

There are two ways to control the amount of information that is show. First, each month is a disclosure², with the details of the members that joined and left hidden by default. Second, a menu allows the administrator to show just the joining events, just the leaving events, or all the events. The menu is powered by some JavaScript.

The JavaScript resource gs-group-member-log-detail-20130919.js provides the client-side code to power the menu on the detailed viewlet.
