# Audit logs

## Introduction

Patchworks audit logs capture key events/actions that happen in your company's dashboard. In the event of a query (for example, 'when did our service settings change?'), users with **client admin** permissions can access **audit logs** for clarification.

## Accessing audit logs

To access audit logs, select **settings** from the left-hand navigation menu, then choose the **audit logs** option:

## Working with audit logs

Events are [displayed by date](#user-content-fn-1)[^1]. Each event is shown with '[headline' information](#user-content-fn-2)[^2] in a shaded header bar - for example:

<figure><img src="https://2440044887-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FLYNcUBVQwSkOMG6KjZfz%2Fuploads%2FWaydyWR6yTTzLrubBQNn%2Faudit%20logs%201.png?alt=media&#x26;token=df6aa23c-3b57-464d-80a6-a5ca2bf673ae" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Header bar

The header bar colour reflects the nature of the event:

| Colour | Meaning         |
| ------ | --------------- |
| Green  | Added / created |
| Orange | Updated         |
| Red    | Deleted         |

### Details

Click the [details option](#user-content-fn-3)[^3] associated with an event to view a detailed log - for example:

<figure><img src="https://2440044887-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FLYNcUBVQwSkOMG6KjZfz%2Fuploads%2FIMP0VMwAUCBGfpu6L032%2Faudit%20log%20details.png?alt=media&#x26;token=eb5cbcd0-753d-47ef-92db-5a95f950e677" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Search

Use the [search bar](#user-content-fn-4)[^4] at the top of the page to search all of your logs for a particular event. For example, you might search for a person's name, a keyword or an ID). For example:
