# Viewing the activity of cards

You can view detailed card updates for a specific card in its **Activity** tab. This includes [linked cards and the virtual cards issued on top of them](/help/viewing-the-activity-of-linked-cards).

The **Activity** tab for each card shows the following updates:

- Fund updates - Include any updates to the card's fund balance, such as transaction amounts and the available funds at that time.
- Card changes - Include any updates to the card's status, balance type, and PIN resets.
- Failed transactions - Include any failed transactions along with their corresponding amounts and reasons for failure.
- Policy updates - Include any updates to the card's associated spend policy, such as the card being added to or removed from a policy.

## Viewing card activity in the Web Portal

To view the activity of a card:

1. In the [Payhawk Web Portal](https://portal.payhawk.com), go to **Cards.**
2. Select the desired card and go to the **Activity** tab.

From the **Activity** tab, you can filter card updates using the **Show** menu, which lists **Card changes**, **Fund updates**, **Failed transactions**, and **Policy updates** as checkboxes. All four are ticked by default, and the button label updates to show which ones are currently selected.

## Sorting card activity

You can sort card activity from the latest updates to the oldest ones or vice versa by clicking on the sort icon next to the **Show** menu. The following rules apply:

- The selected sorting order applies to all card updates.
- By default, the latest card updates appear at the top.
- The selected sorting order will be stored for future user sessions.
