Actions you can complete on the Audit Log are:

·Refresh: Update the audit log to receive the most recent data.

·Hide/Show system events: this hides/shows system data, and will show/hide only data relating to Submitter IPs.

·Export: this exports data into a .csv file. Here, you can:

oExport all: this exports all data collected.

oExport page: this exports data in the page you are currently viewing. You can adjust the amount of rows in the table, then click Export page to export those amount of rows.

·Columns: You can add and remove columns from the table.

Filtering and sorting the audit log

Apply filters to the log using fields in the top row.

You can also sort the data by clicking on a column name. If the audit log is currently being sorted by a certain column, a line displays above the column name (shown below). Click the column name again to reverse the filter.
