Overview of Audit Logs

The Audit Logs page captures audit logs for all users connected to the given GigaVUE‑FM. There are 10 results shown by default on every page. The logs can also be further filtered to view specific information. Unlike the zipped logs under Admin> System > Logs, the audit logs can be seen by users.
