Use logs

To access the use logs, you must have the USERADM access code, and have the use logs recording enabled for your organization.

You can view the use logs for WorkZone cases, documents, or contacts to track who has accessed an item, when and how (the search criteria), and export this information to Excel for further processing.

You can set up additional use logs settings (such as to start and stop recording the use logs, minimize the log level, and run the use log consolidation) on the Use log settings page (this requires the USELOGADM access code). See Use logs settings.

  1. On the start page, click Logs.
  2. Select the Use logs tab. A list of existing use logs is displayed, providing accessed item's ID, type and system key, name and number of the user who has accessed the item, access date and time, user action, application and IP used for access, and search criteria.

    3. By default, the use log will show entries from the latest 30 calendar days, with the most recent entries displayed first. You can sort or filter the displayed use logs in the same way as any other lists. See Filter a list by values and Sort a list.

    When filtering logs by Time, you can specify not only date, but also time parameters, to see log entries within specific hours.
