Activity Logs provide a tamper-evident audit trail of all key actions in your Docupath tenant. Use them to answer "who did what, and when."
When to Use
Investigating unexpected outcomes (e.g., a document was approved but shouldn't have been)
Compliance reporting and audit preparation
Troubleshooting configuration changes
Auditing user actions across the tenant
Prerequisites
Admin or Manager role in Docupath
Steps
Step 1: Open Activity Logs
Navigate to Settings > Activity Logs.
Step 2: Set the Date Range
Use the date picker to define a date range. Start narrow (e.g., last 7 days) and widen only if needed.
Step 3: Search and Filter
Use the Search Bar to filter by:
User name
Action keyword (e.g., "Approve", "Role", "Retention")
Entity or object name
Step 4: Review the Log Tables
The log table displays:
Column | Description |
Date/Time | Timestamp of the action |
User | The user who performed the action |
Activity | Description of what was done |
Step 5: Expand Entries for Detail
Click the expand control (triangle icon) on any entry to reveal before/after values for configuration changes.
Step 6: Copy or Export Entries
Copy entries as needed for support tickets, audit notes, or compliance reports.
Expected Outcome
Clear visibility into who performed what action and when, with before/after context for configuration changes.
Common Issues
Issue | Cause | Resolution |
Too many results returned | Overly broad date range | Narrow the date range to a shorter window |
Missing expected events | Searching only by person | Search by action keyword as well to catch all relevant entries |
Incomplete understanding of a change | Skipping the expand control | Always click to expand entries to see before/after values |
Notes
Activity logs are tamper-evident and cannot be modified or deleted.
Log retention is tied to the tenant's data retention policy.
For long-term compliance requirements, export critical entries to an internal audit repository.
