Step 1: Open the Audit Logs Page

1. In the left-hand sidebar, click Audits.
2. The Audit Logs page will open.
   

At the top of the page, you’ll see:

• The page title: Audit Logs
• A short description explaining that this page tracks system actions, changes, and events
• The total number of log records in the top-right corner

Step 2: Understand the Audit Logs Table

Each row in the Audit Logs table represents a single system event.

The table includes the following columns:

• Timestamp — the exact date and time the action occurred
• Action — the action performed, displayed as a status tag
• Description — short summary of what happened
• Entity — the record or module affected
• Source — where the action originated
• Performed By — the user who performed the action
• View icon — opens full details of the selected log entry

This gives you a clear record of system activity across AML Guardian.

Step 3: Search for a Specific Log Entry

To find a specific action or event:

1. Click the search bar at the top of the page
2. Enter a keyword related to the:
3. • action
   • entity
   • description
     

The table will automatically filter matching records as you type.

Step 4: Filter Logs by Date Range

You can narrow down audit logs by date range.

To do this:

1. Click the start date field next to the search bar
2. Select the beginning of your date range
3. Click the end date field
4. Select the end of your date range
   

The audit log table will refresh to show only records that fall within that selected period.

Step 5: View Full Log Details

To inspect a specific log entry:

1. Locate the relevant record in the table
2. Click the view icon on the right-hand side of the row
   

A detail window will open showing:

• Action
• Entity
• Performed At
• Performed By
• Description
  

When finished, click the X in the top-right corner to close the window.

Step 6: Review Detailed Change History for Updated Records

Some audit log entries — especially UPDATED actions — include extra change-tracking information.

When viewing one of these entries, you may also see a Changed Summary section that shows:

• Old Value — the value before the update
• New Value — the value after the update
• Changed Columns — the specific fields that were modified
  

This is useful when you need to understand:

• what changed
• who changed it
• when the change happened

Step 7: Export Audit Logs

To export the current audit log data:

1. Click Export CSV in the top-right corner of the Audit Logs page
2. AML Guardian will generate a CSV file containing the current log data
   

You can then open the CSV in Excel or another spreadsheet tool for:

• offline review
• compliance reporting
• audit evidence
• internal record keeping

• reviewing who performed a system action
• checking changes to client or compliance records
