Viewing the EDM Audit Log

Using the Audit Log function, you can view a record of each instance an EDM user accessed information about any object in the master index database. The audit log includes instances in which an object profile appeared in a search results list; was viewed or compared; was added, updated, or deactivated; or was merged or unmerged. The audit log can be enabled or disabled by the system administrator.
