View the Dashboard Audit Log

You can open an audit log for a dashboard to see when the dashboard was created, edited, run, and published, and which staff members performed these actions. Since the audit log is a report, you can perform common report actions on the audit log, such as printing, forwarding, or slicing.

The audit log shows you when the dashboard was edited and generated, but not all actions taken on the dashboard, such as previewing it, are listed in the audit log. If you need to see every instance of a dashboard or report being generated, printed, exported, and previewed, you can use the Expanded Report Audit Log. See View the Expanded Report Audit Log.

1. Edit a dashboard and click the Home tab.
2. Click Audit Log.
3. To access a list of actions that can be taken on the audit log report, click Options. Many of the actions available when viewing other reports are available on the Options button. See Overview of the Report Ribbon for descriptions of these actions.
4. Click OK.
