Audit Log ​

The audit log is the searchable stream of events your workspace records: quotes created, sent and accepted, orders moving stage, artwork sent and approved, invoices issued and paid, store and campaign checkouts, kiosk walk-ins, team changes and privacy actions. Each row names the event, the customer it concerns and the staff member or portal user who did it.

Where It Lives ​

PageWhat it's for
Insight, then Audit logThe full stream, with search and filters
An order, quote or invoiceThe same events for that one record, on its activity timeline
Dashboard, the activity feedThe most recent events across the shop

The audit log is available to owners and managers only.

Reading It ​

  1. Go to Insight, then Audit log. The newest events are at the top, 50 to a page.
  2. Type in the search box to match an event's title, body or event name, for example an order number or invoice.paid.
  3. Click Orders, Artwork, Invoices, Tenant or Privacy to show one family of events, or All to clear the filter.

Each row shows the event title, the event name in code form such as order.stage_changed, the customer, who did it (a staff name, or a portal user marked (portal)) and how long ago. Hover over the time for the exact timestamp. Rows for payments and approvals are marked green, change requests amber, cancellations and deletion requests red.

Using It Well ​

  • Keep roles honest. A log where everyone is a manager says far less than one where the sales team hold the sales role.
  • Check the log before assuming a fault. A changed price is often a colleague changing a price.
  • Deactivate leavers instead of deleting them, so old entries still name a person.
