System did not return any data before 16th Aug 2016?

As the logging functionality was released on 16th August 2016, there will be no data available in the system before 16th August to be displayed in this screen. So any activity that was done after you received an email from Probench on 16th August 2016 release will be displayed on Activity Timeline screen.
