Using the Project Audit Logs for Governance and Security<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Audience:<\/strong> Project managers and administrators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goal:<\/strong> To explain how to use the Logs page to review a detailed, unchangeable history of all actions taken within a project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The Logs<\/strong> page is your project’s official and unchangeable history book. It provides a detailed, time-stamped audit trail of every single action performed by any user within the project. This feature is essential for security, accountability, troubleshooting, and understanding the complete history of your project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Understanding the Audit Log View<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you navigate to the Logs page, you will see a chronological list of all recorded actions, with the most recent actions at the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Each entry in the log provides critical information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Timestamp:<\/strong>\u00a0The exact date and time the action occurred.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • User:<\/strong>\u00a0The name of the user who performed the action.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Action:<\/strong>\u00a0The technical name of the action performed (e.g.,\u00a0create_task,\u00a0generate_report).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Details:<\/strong>\u00a0A clear, human-readable description of the action (e.g., “Generated report: Executive Summary Report” or “Updated task status to: In Progress”).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • IP Address:<\/strong>\u00a0The IP address from which the user performed the action, which is crucial for security audits.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    2. How to Filter and Search the Logs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    For large and active projects, the log can become very long. Use the powerful filtering tools at the top of the page to find the exact information you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Action Type:<\/strong>\u00a0Filter the list to show only one type of action (e.g., show only\u00a0delete_note\u00a0actions).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • User:<\/strong>\u00a0Isolate all actions performed by a specific team member.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Date Range:<\/strong>\u00a0Use the\u00a0Date From\u00a0and\u00a0Date To\u00a0fields to narrow your search to a specific time period.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Entries:<\/strong>\u00a0Choose how many log entries you want to display per page.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      After setting your filter criteria, click the blue Apply Filters<\/strong> button to update the list. To clear your selections and see the full log again, click Reset<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      3. Printing Logs for Archiving or Reporting<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      If you need a physical copy or a PDF of the current log view for a report or for archival purposes, simply scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Print Logs<\/strong> button. This will open your computer’s standard print dialog, allowing you to print the filtered log data.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
