The Audit Log Dashboard provides an overview of the updates, changes, or deletions that users within your organization or automated Smart Rules have made within the Mindful User Interface over a specified time period.

Check out the following video for an overview of the Audit Log dashboard.

Filters and Downloads

The Audit Log Dashboard allows you to organize multiple tiles and data sources into a single space, making it easier to quickly analyze many related pieces of content. To customize your view of the data, use the filters at the top of the dashboard. 

Filters

Filters appear at the top of the dashboard and match fields contained within the dashboard's tiles. Depending on their configuration, they can include single- or multiple-choice options, ranges of values, or various date and time options. In some cases, filters may be required by the dashboard in order to run.

1. Event Time: The Event Time filter allows you to filter by various criteria. 

• Click in the Event Time field to reveal a drop-down menu and select the filter of your choice. 
• If desired, change the number that appears to a number of your choice. Then use the drop-down menu to select the unit of measurement.
• Click the + sign to add any other desired criteria for filtering. To remove criteria, click the X.
• Note that "null" and "matches" in the drop-down menu are not applicable at this time.

2. Event Type: Click in the Event Type field to reveal a drop-down menu that will allow you to filter by any combination of the following events: Create, Update, Delete, or User authentication.
3. User Type: Select Automation if you want to see changes made by a Smart Rule. Select User if you want to see changes made by a user of the UI.
4. User Email: Click in the User Email field to reveal a drop-down menu that will allow you to filter by any combination of user email addresses.

After updating a filter's value(s), you will need to refresh the dashboard to pull in the filtered data. A refresh button will appear in the upper right corner of the dashboard. After clicking on it, each tile may take a few seconds to update.
