Introduction

Audit Trail allows you to track all the actions performed by users on the platform. Most people refer to it as a logbook as it registers all activities no matter how small it is. Here is how to access the Audit Trail:

Go to Audit Trail from the navigation panel on the left side of the screen and you would see a page like in the image below showing you all the details you need

Here is what each of the columns represents.

1. Serial Number (S/N): This is a number assigned to an activity that was recorded.

2. IP Address: This is the digital footprint of the user that performed a certain action. With the IP Address, you can track down the physical location of a person.

3. Browser : This gives you a detailed overview of the kind of browser that was used to perform the action or activity.

4. User: This tells you which user performed whichever activity.

5. Operation: This column tells which action/activity was performed.

6. Timestamp: This tells you the date and time the action was performed down to the microsecond. The numbers before the "T" tells you the date in the format Year:Month:Day and the numbers after the T tells you time in the format Hour:Minute:Second.

To see more recent activities being logged, click on the < symbol (if you are not on the first page). Similarly, to see more activities of the past, click on the > symbol (If you are not on the last page).

And that is how you make use of the Audit Trail!!
