Note: The Audit log is available in the Professional package.
What is the audit log?
The audit log gives you a complete overview of all changes made within your TimeChimp environment. Think of creating, editing, or deleting time entries, projects, customers, employees, invoices, and more. This way you always have insight into who performed which action and when.
Where do I find the audit log?
You can find the audit log via Settings (gear icon in the top right) > Audit log.
Only employees with the Admin role, or a custom role with access to the audit log, can view this page.
What do I see in the audit log?
The audit log displays the following information per row:
Time – The exact date and time the change was made
Email – The email address of the employee who made the change.
Description – A description of the change, including tags that indicate the object type (e.g. Project, User, Invoice) and the action type (e.g. Added, Modified, Deleted).
Filtering the audit log
You can filter the audit log in several ways to quickly find the information you need.
Period
By default, the audit log shows the current week. You can adjust the period using the date picker at the top of the page. The following periods are available:
Week
Month
Quarter
Year
Use the arrow buttons on either side of the date selector to navigate between periods.
Search by email
Use the search bar to filter by an employee's email address. This lets you quickly see all changes made by a specific person.
