How to view an audit trail of all user requests to export work stacks and download reports

There are two ways to track when users request reports and also when they export stacks. This can be done by setting up a notification alert on the daily digest to view which reports or stacks have been exported.  This will provide a daily update on any stacks exported or reports downloaded.  The audit trail will provide a full history of all reports and stack exports.

Prerequisites: To access the audit trail a user must be either be a CRM administrator or have access to settings.

To view the audit trail follow these simply steps:

1. Log into the Layer

2. Select  from the top right hand-side of the screen

3. Under Statistics & Logs on the left-hand side of the settings screen select Audit Trail

4. You will then be directed towards the Audit Trail History and the following information will be displayed:
  • Date: The date of the action was created
  • Username: The user within the Layer who carried out the action
  • Type: The type of action that was carried out
  • Record name: The name of any record that was accessed if applicable, in the case of accessing custom records the name of your company should appear
  • Action: The action that was carried out e.g. requested export of 'My Open Cases' (Case Stack)  

In the example below we can see that at 17:46 on the 8th of April 2016 user Jenny Lind exported all cases that were within her case work stack titled 'My Open Cases'

TIP: To find out more accurate information, users viewing the audit trail can either filter on the columns and/or export the audit trail for further investigation, e.g. to view all actions carried out by a particular user simply filter on the user's username.
