About use logs and deletion logs

Use logs and deletion logs record the users' activities in the WorkZone clients, for example WorkZone Client, WorkZone for Office, and WorkZone Explorer.

• Use logs allow you to track who has accessed a WorkZone entity, when and how (the search criteria).
• Deletion logs allow you to track who has soft-deleted and hard-deleted a WorkZone entity, when and why (the deletion reason).

Prerequisites: You must have the USERADM access code to access the use logs and deletion logs, and the USELOGADM access code to edit the use log settings (such as to start and stop recording the use log, minimize the log level, and run the use log consolidation.

You can access, set up, and manage the use logs and deletion logs in WorkZone Configurator. On the start page, click Logs, and select the needed tab (Deletion logs, Deletion log settings, Use logs, or Use log settings).

Whether recording the use logs is turned on or off depends on the rules and regulations that your organization must meet. When recording the use logs is turned on, all logging is automatic and based on either a default configuration or a customer specific configuration. The use logs and deletion logs information will be recorded directly into the WorkZone database.

See Administrator Guide for WorkZone Configurator for more information about the use logs, use log settings, deletion logs, and deletion log settings.
