Welcome to the Audit Log Tool

You can monitor live changes made to the database by reviewing the interactions from the device, operator, and branch.

Filtering the audit log allows you to focus on specific actions or details. The screenshot below demonstrates the "Audit Log Search" modal for this purpose.

Example Usage Scenarios

• To track modifications made to a specific client, filter the Model column by Client and sort by Timestamp.

• To review all actions performed by a particular actor, filter the Actor column by their name.

1. On Model: Monitor changes for specific models, such as Bank Account, Loan, or Client. Track the audit logs for a model to see what changes were made to it.

2. By User: Each operator generates unique audit log entries based on their actions within the application.

3. From Device: Log entries are associated with the specific device used by the operator, allowing tracking at the device level.

4. Of Branch: Devices are linked to specific branches, enabling tracking of actions at the branch level.

5. During Period: Specify a date range to narrow the results to the desired timeframe.

6. Blank Fields: Leaving a filter field blank will include all available results for that criterion.

The Audit Log Screen

To properly evaluate an audit log, users need to understand the meaning of each column in the results table to assess each record accurately.

Table Columns Explained

This table displays a record of various actions performed within a system, providing information about changes made to different models by specific users over time. Each column serves a unique purpose, detailed below
