# Audit logs

Review the record of changes made across Open Core HR.

The **Audit Logs** screen is the system activity trail — a record of who changed what, and when. Open it from **Audit Logs** in the left **menu**, under the Settings heading.

1. **Audit Logs** — Open **Audit Logs** from the menu.

## Investigating a change

Search for the record or user, then open an entry to check who made the change, what changed, and when it happened. The actor may be **System** for an automated change.

## Opening an entry

Click the **view** (eye) button on a row to open **Audit Log Details**. That page shows:

- **Overview** — the user (name and email), the **Event**, the **Model** and **Record ID**, plus the **Timestamp**, **IP Address**, **User Agent**, **URL**, and **Tags** when those were recorded.
- **Changes** — a table with **Field**, **Old Value**, and **New Value** columns. Fields that actually changed are highlighted (old value in red, new value in green). If the event didn't record any field changes, it says "No changes recorded for this event."

Use the back arrow at the top of the details page to return to the list.

## Settings changes

Saving **Settings → Field visits**, **Settings → Field tracking** or **Settings → Maps** records one entry tagged `settings`, with the model **FieldSettings**, **FieldTrackingSettings** or **MapsSettings**. It lists only the fields that changed, with their old and new values, and the administrator who saved them. The Maps server key is shown as `********` so the entry shows when it was set, replaced or cleared without revealing it. The **version** field increases with every save.

## Tips

- Audit entries are read-only — you can view them but not edit or remove them from here.
- Use the search box to narrow down to a person, a record type, or a date you're looking for.
