Audit Logs
The audit log is a chronological, tamper-evident record of create and modify events in a study. It supports compliance review and traceability for uploads, reports, and subject records.
Who can view: Study Admins only. Readers and uploaders are redirected to login if they attempt to open audit routes without admin access.
Where: Management → Audit Logs (or navigate directly to the audit screen for your study)
What the audit log captures
Each entry typically includes:
- Action description — what changed (for example "Created subject 067-123456" or a report update)
- Acting user — email of the user who performed the action
- Timestamp — when the action occurred
- Before/after values — for modifications, the prior and new state
- Record link — subject, upload, or report identifiers so you can trace the affected record
- IP address — when captured by the platform
Common audit events
| Event | Example |
|---|---|
| Subject created | Created subject 067-123456 with site and subject metadata |
| Subject archived | Status transition NONE → ARCHIVED |
| Report e-signed | Attestation text for a reader report on a specific upload |
| Report updated | Re-signature after a reader edits their own report |
E-signature attestation in the audit log
When a reader e-signs a report, the audit log records an attestation along these lines:
Final interpretation and attestation by user [user id] [email] on [date-time] from [ip address]
The IP portion is included when the platform captures it. The same attestation text appears on-screen in the report drawer and in CSV/Excel exports — see Reporting and Actions.
Using the audit log
- Navigate to the Audit Logs screen for your study.
- Scroll or search for the subject, upload, or user involved.
- Expand or review entries to see before/after details for modifications.
Report creation and updates may take a few seconds to appear — refresh if you just completed an e-signature.
