Audit Log
Introduction
The audit log has records providing information about who has accessed the system and what operations he or she has performed during a given period of time.
Audit logs are useful both for maintaining security and for audit purposes. As part of this function, the administrators can view details about the actions performed by different user(s) in the system.
The administrator can search or filter records by providing specific search parameters and system will display matching records for the search criteria.
