Using the Audit tab to monitor Workspace activity

About the workspace audit

The Audit is a privileged platform feature for Workspace Administrators and Managers or those custom roles with the correct permissions set. The audit tab provides a record of all workspace activity. The records from the last 30 days are shown in the workspace UI but the activity data is also stored in the background for the lifetime of the workspace.

You can access this via the Administer dropdown menu and selecting Audit. This displays a table offering user tracking across resource access, files and database table uploads. The table details a list of workspace events that have occurred, e.g. when users have accessed the workspace, added notes or deleted files.

Filtering audit list

The Audit table can be filtered using the filter icon in the table header; multiple filters can be applied at one time. To clear the filters, simply select the 'Clear all filters' button to revert the table back to an unfiltered state. To remove a single column filter, click on the filter icon again and remove the filter text.

Sorting the Audit table

The Audit table can be sorted using any of the columns except "Who". To sort by a column, simply click on the column header, to sort it in the other direction, click on the column header again. The default sort is "When".

Downloading audit data

Workspace Administrators and Managers also have the option to download the audit data for offline analysis or reporting using the ‘Download’ button located in the top right of the audit tab.

Clicking the button will export the table in a CSV format. Depending on the size of the download, this may take some time.
