I'd like to show recent updates or changes made by users to different post types in a view. For example: Joe edited the OS of the Defeect blah blah blah....

Is this possible? See attached image for a better idea of what I'm trying to do.

Thanks!

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

It looks like you wanted to track and log the each activity/action perform by the user.

View's are meant to display the content on the frontend and the possible source of the content could be the post types, taxonomies, and users.

Basically there is no such native feature available to log the user activity. Maybe you should try to search for the plugin that logs activity and then check if you are able to display that activity log using views.

But the view would be user content just shown differenly. Once the post is updated it's basically just activity -no? I'm just trying to generate those posts all in one place as a log.

Once post is updated - yes its activity but the thing is that how you log the activity?
=>
A single post can be updated thousands of time with any user, how you identify that the post has been updated by this user at this time because the post will save the last updated information. The requirement you have should have an activity tracking/log plugin.
