Auditing Overview
Use the Audit feature to view tasks performed by users. You can filter audited tasks by audit type (for example, Data or Clear Cell Details), date range (for example, Yesterday or Last 60 Days), and user name.
You must be a Service Administrator to enable audit tracking, and to view and export audit information.
These are the types of user activities the system can log in the task audit:
