Understanding Audit Logs
Audit Logs are a vital component of the CRM that provides a detailed record of all activities and changes made within various modules such as contacts, calendars, opportunities, and communication. These logs are instrumental in tracking the source of changes, ensuring data integrity, and facilitating troubleshooting.

Utilize the search feature to easily locate specific records.
Apply Filters
To narrow down the logs displayed, you can apply filters based on specific criteria such as user, activity type, module, or date range. This makes it easier to find the information you're looking for.
Remove filters by clicking the X icon (1) or refresh the list to ensure that the relevant filters have been applied or removed (2).
