Auditing Information Overview

You can use the Audit feature to view the tasks performed by users. You can filter audited tasks by audit type (for example, Data, Approvals, or Clear Cell Details), date range (for example, Yesterday or Last 60 Days), and user name.

You must be a Service Administrator to view and export task audit information.

These are the types of user activities the system can log in the task audit:
