View the Expanded Report Audit Log

The Expanded Report Audit Log provides administrators with information about reports that have been viewed or accessed. This information is recorded for all reports in your B2C Service site, regardless of where they were accessed.

This report is accessed from the Reports Explorer, but uses information from a table that's not accessible for use in custom reports. For this reason, you can’t copy this report.
Note: The data displayed in the Expanded Report Audit Log accumulates quickly since it's stored every time a report is run, previewed, forwarded, printed, or exported. To prevent the accumulation of this data from impeding site performance, it's purged 30 days after the tracked event occurs. If you need data stored longer than 30 days, you will need to run the audit log on a regular basis and export the data that's returned to another location.
