Plans supporting access to team auditing settings in knowledge base portal

Enterprise






The Team auditing feature allows you to track the actions performed by your team accounts within your Document360 project. For example, you can monitor when a team member adds a new article, updates an existing one, or changes settings in the knowledge base portal. This feature helps ensure accountability, as it logs who performed each action and when, making it easy to trace specific activities, such as restoring an article that was mistakenly deleted or reviewing changes made during a product release.

The Audit configuration feature allows you to selectively monitor key actions across your project, helping you stay informed without tracking unnecessary data. This feature is especially useful in projects that require oversight of sensitive information or strict compliance.

For example, a project manager wants to monitor when new articles are published or existing articles are updated, so they turn on the audit configuration for Documentation editor events only.

NOTE

Only the Owner, Admin, and users with a custom role who have access to team auditing can view and update the team auditing feature.

FAQs

What is team auditing in the knowledge base portal?

Team auditing allows you to track the actions performed by your team accounts within your Document360 project, such as adding or updating articles and changing settings.

How do I export a specific team account's auditing records?

To export the audit data for a specific team account, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to Settings () > Knowledge base portal > Team auditing in the Knowledge base portal.

    By default, Team auditing tab will be selected.

  2. In the Activity by user dropdown, select the desired team account and click Apply.

  3. In the Event dropdown, choose the required events and click Apply.

  4. In the Audit date dropdown, choose the date range.

    The audit data for the selected team account will be listed.

  5. Click Export CSV to download the data as a CSV file.

How frequently is the audit data updated?

Audit data is updated in real-time. You can click the Refresh button to ensure you are viewing the latest activities.

Can I view actions performed by specific team accounts?

Yes, you can filter the audit data to view actions performed by specific team accounts.

Can I restrict access to team auditing data for certain team members?

Yes, access to team auditing can be restricted based on user roles and permissions within the Document360 project.

Can I recover deleted articles or content through team auditing?

Team auditing only tracks actions taken, it does not provide recovery options. To recover deleted content, refer to the Document360 backup and restore or version history features.

Can I monitor specific events instead of all project-related events?

Yes, turn on the toggle for specific event categories to monitor only those events.

Can I track changes made to the knowledge base site settings?

Yes, you can monitor site-specific activities like custom CSS updates, enabling cookie consent, etc.

Is it possible to track actions related to Drive activities?

Yes, you can monitor Drive-related activities such as folder additions, deletions, and file updates.

Why is the article creation event missing or showing the old name in Team auditing after a Word import?

If the article name is manually updated during the Word import process, this change will not be captured in the Team auditing, and the original name of the Word file will be reflected. To ensure the correct article name is reflected in auditing logs, avoid renaming the article during the import process. Instead, rename it after the import is complete.
