Audit Logs

The Audit Logs feature is used for tracking any configuration updates. The QA Manager/Project Admin can use the audit log report to view what configuration data has been changed on your QMetry for the Jira instance and who has changed the configuration. You can filter and analyze this data to determine who has done what with field values on the site. For example, you can determine who deleted particular configuration content.

Knowing which user is taking what action on which field in your QMetry for Jira site can be critical because it helps the organization fulfill its regulatory compliance and encourages records management.
