Auditing Information Overview

You can use the Audit Information feature to view the tasks performed by users. You can filter audited tasks by Task Group (for example, Metadata Administration, Forms or Data), Action (such as Add or Modify), user ID, start time and end time.

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:
