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
Read access to Activity Logs. The module is view only for everyone, including admins
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.
