View And Save the Audit Log

The audit log is a record of the significant events that have occurred in the vault over time. Each event in the log contains the date, user, action, item, and additional details. It can be useful to track user, document, project activity and more.

As of the 2022 release, separate events are added to the audit log for each document in a batch, regardless of whether authentication succeeded, failed, or if you exited out of the authentication dialog without attempting to authenticate.

If enabled for a vault, the Meridian Enterprise FDA Module allows you to view and save audit log data if you have the appropriate permission. You do so by opening the audit log viewer from within Meridian Enterprise. The audit log viewer opens in a new browser window. There you can filter and sort the data to meet your needs. You can then save the data as a file that you can open in other programs such as Microsoft Excel to format and print the data.

Note:

You must have the View Audit Log privilege to use this command.
