Do you want to know who changed something in absence.io and when? That’s what **Audit Logs** are for. They record changes to important data, so you can always trace what happened. ##### What is logged? The Audit Logs contain all changes to a user’s: - **Personnel File** - **Schedule** - **Allowance Policies** and **Individual Adjustments** - **Compensations** - **Time Tracking Initial Date** and **Start Date** Logs are available **starting from 22.10.2026**. Earlier changes are not shown. Changes to a user’s Access Rights, Role, Location, Team and Department will be **added gradually**, along with other actions in the app. Absences and Time Tracking activities are recorded separately in the **Latest Activities** section of the user’s profile. ##### Who can see the Audit Logs? All higher roles with access to the Personnel File. ##### Where do I find the Audit Logs? 1. Click on **Settings** at the top right. 2. In the menu on the left, go to **Organization** and select **Audit Logs**. There you see a table with all logged changes. For each entry you can see **when** (date and time), **which action**, **by whom** and **of whom** something was changed. For changes, you also see the old value (crossed out) and the new value. ##### Filter entries To quickly find what you are looking for, filter at the top: - **Action:** Select one or more actions from the list, for example *User DPF Viewed* or *User Info Updated*. - **By User:** Show only changes made by a specific person. - **Of User:** Show only changes that affect a specific person. - **Period:** Limit the entries to a specific time period. You can combine the filters. Click on **Reset Filter** to clear all selections. ##### Export logs Do you want to process or archive the entries? Click on **Export excel** and download the list.
