Audit Log

The Audit Log displays the actions taken against a specific clients details for a specified period of time.

It is available from System > Audit Log.

For syncing computers, the Audit Log only synchronises one-way to the practice's master database. This is to minimise synchronisation time. Messages will appear to notify the user if they are not online, that the Audit Log may not include all information or when they are online, that it is reliant on all users using the "Sync All" option to update the server database.
