Filtering the Audit log.

The screenshot below depicts the "Audit Log Search" modal.

When filtering / searching for an audit log, it is important to understand the following:

  • Each Audit log is unique for every operator using the application

  • Each operator is unique to a device.

  • Each device belongs to a specific branch.

  • It is good to know which period (date-range) you wish to view the Audit Logs between.

  • If the user wishes to view all options, rather than specify a field,it is best that the field be left blank, as instructed.
