Audit Log

The Audit Log feature helps administrators track changes to Policy Components.
It provides a detailed record of who created a policy component and any subsequent modifications, enhancing accountability and transparency within your organization.

Accessing the Audit Log

1. Navigate to the Policy Component page within the mambo EMM console.
2. Click the More Actions button.
3. Select Audit Log from the table actions.

Audit Log Interface

Upon selecting Audit Log, a pop-up window will appear displaying a table with the following columns:

• Name: The name of the user who performed the action. (Names in braces indicate an imposter name.)
• Date: The date and time when the action was performed.
• Action: Indicates whether the data was added or changed.

Detailed View

Each row in the table includes an accordion. Clicking a row will expand it to reveal detailed information about the changes, similar to a diff checker:

• Differences: Highlights the changes made, showing the previous and current states.

Benefits

• Transparency: Provides a clear and detailed record of all actions taken within the Policy Component.
• Accountability: Identifies the users responsible for changes, enhancing accountability.
• Troubleshooting: Facilitates easier troubleshooting by showing precise changes and timestamps.
