On this page:


From the welcome page, select Admin, then System from the drop-down menu. This will launch the System menu.

Select Audit Trails.


This will launch the Audit Trails page as seen in the screenshot below:

Advanced Search for a User

You can search for a user via the "Search by User" field at the top or you can have an advanced search by clicking the  button at the side of the search bar.

This will activate additional search filters to ease your search;

  • Search by user

How to Export CSV

At the top-right of the report is a blue button labelled Export CSV. A CSV (or Comma-separated values) is a type of file that stores tabular data in plain text form. This allows the data to be easily transferred between programs that are not normally compatible. 


To create a CSV file of your selected data, click on the blue Export CSV button. This will download a CSV file:


Open the CSV file with an appropriate program of your choice, for example Microsoft Excel or Libre Office Calc. Only the Audit Entries of that page will be exported.
