The audit trail shows what people changed. The page access log shows what they looked at. Every time a user opens a screen, the system records the screen, its address and the time. Use it to answer questions such as "who opened the payroll screens this month?" or "what was this user doing before the mistake?".
Open the page access log
Open Administration › System › Audit Trail.
Select Page Access Log in the toolbar.
To go back, select Audit Trail in the same place.
Filter the visits
Set the period with From and To.
Choose a User to see one person's visits.
Under Search, type part of a screen name, route or address, for example payroll.
Select Apply.
The Page views (filtered) figure above the list shows how many visits match your filters. Use Previous and Next to move through the pages of results.
Export
Select Export Excel or Export PDF in the toolbar to save the filtered visits, for example to attach to an internal audit file.
Reading the log
A visit means the screen was opened, not that anything was changed. To see changes, use the audit trail.
A user who opens many screens in a short time is often searching for something. Check whether the screens match their role.
Visits to screens a user should not see point to a permission that is too broad. Review their group.
Common questions
No visits appear. The filters exclude everything, or the user did not open any screen in that period. Widen the dates and clear the search.
Are sign-ins listed here? No. The log lists screen visits. A user's first visit of the day shows roughly when they started working.
Who can see this log? Users whose group has the audit trail permission. Keep it to owners and internal audit.
