Description

The purpose of the event log is to gather information about all the events that happened in the application in one place, so that the admin users can easily see what actions the users have taken. It helps to find out the time and author of various changes, which makes the work of solving and clarifying possible ambiguities much easier.

The event log is a section in the application settings.

The event log opens on top of the settings view, giving you as much space as possible to view it. By default, all logged events are searched for in the view, but the content can also be limited by search criteria.

  • A clickable link from which you can view the item

• From
  • Pre-event value
