View Audit Log

Audit log displays the activities performed by users in your organisation with the CRM account. Users in the Administrator Profile or CEO Role can access the audit logs. However, other users can only view their own and their subordinates' audit Logs.

To view Audit Logs

  1. Log into your CRM account.
  2. Go to Setup > Data Administration > Audit Log.
    The Audit Log page displays all the actions performed by all users for the last 60 days.

Audit Log Details

Since the Audit Log is quite exhaustive, it could be tiresome to sift through the entries if you are looking for a few specific details. For example, if you wish to see only the records added by a particular user or a list of actions performed in the last 7 days, it could be difficult to find those specific entries among a huge list. In such a case, you can use the Filter options offered to you and narrow down on the entry or entries you are looking for.

To filter the entries in the Audit Log page

  1. Select an
     
    Entity, in order to view the log of actions performed on that entity. You can choose from one of the following.
    • Choose a specific module to view the log of actions performed on that module only. For example, Leads.
    • Choose Setup to view the log of all Setup related actions only.
    • Choose All Entities to view the log of actions performed on all the modules as well as Setup related actions.
  2. Select a
     
    User, in order to view the log of actions performed by a particular user. You can do one of the following.
    • Choose a specific user to view the log of actions performed by that particular user only.
    • Choose All users to view the log of all actions performed by all users in your organisation.
  3. Select an
     
    Action, in order to filter the entries based on the actions that have been performed on the records.
    • Choose an action among Added, Updated and Deleted actions depending on your requirements.
    • Choose All Actions to view the log of all the three actions.
  4. Select a
     
    Time, in order to view the log of actions performed in the chosen time frame. Choose among the following options.
    • Anytime
    • Today
    • Last 7 Days
    • Last 30 Days
    • A Specific Date (which falls within the last 60 days)
    • A Date Range (which falls within the last 60 days)

For example, if you want to view all the records added by a specific user in the Leads module in the last 7 days

  • Choose Entity as Leads.
  • Choose the desired User.
  • Choose Action as Added.
  • Choose the Time as Last 7 Days.
The audit log will be displayed according to the above filters.

Note
  • Users can only view their own and their subordinates' Audit Logs.
  • Administrators can view the logs of subordinates, and the CEO has the privilege to view the logs of all users.
