Reviewing Audit Logs

This guide is for community staff and Admins who review activity records in Access > Audit Logs ("Track all system activities and user actions"). The tab appears when your role can view audit logs.

Filtering the Log

Two controls narrow the list:

• Search — free-text search across the log.
• Date Range — choose Today, Last 3 Days, Last 7 Days (the default), Last 30 Days, or Custom Range.

Custom Range reveals Start Date and End Date pickers. Dates can reach back up to 90 days and cannot pass today, and the span between them is capped at 30 days — a wider selection shows "Date range cannot exceed 30 days. Please select a smaller range." and results pause until you narrow it. There is no separate event-type dropdown; combine text search with the date range to zero in on what you need.

Reading the List

Each row leads with an icon colored by the action verb the log recorded:

Action	Icon
Create	Green plus
Update	Blue pencil
Delete	Red bin
Approve	Light-green check
Deny	Red X
Other	Grey history

The bold primary line reads "{Action} - {record}", followed by a description and a date chip.

The Detail Dialog and Change Comparison

Click any row to open its detail dialog, headed "{Action} by {userName}" with a timestamp. It has two parts:

• Basic Information — Description, Table, Record (name and id), Property ID, User (name and id), and Community ID.
• Changes — with the Show Comparison toggle on, each changed field shows "Previous:" in red beside "New:" in green, so you can see exactly what a change did; identical data reports "No differences found in the data structure." Toggle it off to see the raw "Previous Data:" and "New Data:" blocks instead.

The comparison is the fastest way to answer "who changed this, and from what to what" — for example, confirming which schedule a group's door was moved to, or what a user's role was before an edit. Click Close to return to the list.

When the List Is Empty

"No audit logs found" means nothing matched your search and date range — widen the range or clear the search. If the page reports "Error loading audit logs", refresh and try again.

Need Help?

If the Audit Logs tab is missing entirely, your role does not include audit-log access — ask your community Admin, or submit a help desk ticket.
