# Audit log

## About the Audit Log

The *Audit Log* gives you a detailed history of timecard and expense actions for a project.

## Ways to use this log

*Audit Logs* are useful for:

- **Accountability and oversight** - See who made changes, when, and to what—especially helpful in high-volume production environments
- **Approval tracking** - Confirm that timecards, payment requests, and invoices were submitted and approved on time
- **Troubleshooting errors** - Trace back any unexpected changes or discrepancies in project data or workflows
- **Security monitoring** - Review login activity and permission changes for sensitive roles.
- **Internal audits and compliance** - Provide a clear audit trail to support internal reviews or external audits
- **Dispute resolution** - Reference exact actions taken in the event of a payroll or approval dispute

## What’s included in the log

The *Audit Log* includes a complete timeline of system activity with the following details:

- Timestamp (date and time of the action)
- User Name (who performed the action)
- User Role (for example., Admin, Manager)
- Action Type (for example., Created, Updated, Approved, Deleted)
- Object Type (for example, Timecard, Invoice, Payment Request)
- Object Name or ID
- Change Summary (what was changed, if applicable)
- Project Name (if action was project-specific)
