So I have a database full of hardware components. I am willing to implement a function in which if the user selects 1 particular component he than would be able to see the activities this component has been through. CRUD, status change, etc..

Laracasts has a subject on this matter, but still hard to figure things out.

Do I need a table.. let's say activities or history and this one has:

id user_id ??

this is the part which I can't seem to figure it out. Do I need to hook up every and each component to the history table? or the other way around, each component with an history_id

I hope you understand what I mean.

Thanks in advance!
