Searching for logs on specific data changes

You can search for logs on specific data changes.

This is useful when you specifically know what to look for, such as changes to a certain account. The logs include information about all data changes. You can view both the original and the changed values and the name of the user who performed the change. You can search for logs on date, user, function, actuality, period, account, company, and currency.

Before you can generate the report, you must enable the tracking of data change details. For more information see Enabling the tracking of data changes.
