Document Audit Log

You can set audit log options at a site collection level. The SOP solution enables more robust and easier to read audit log format. For a complete list of all audit log events supported by the SOP solution, refer to the Event Details.

Tip: The legacy audit log and local time offset are mutually exclusive. The local time offset is not available with the legacy format. Logging of check-in comments is available with both the formats.

The configuration options include:

  • Use Legacy Audit Log – Not used with the SOP solution
  • Use Local Time Offset in the audit log – Allows the users to identify their location to be used in the audit log to display the local time in addition to the server time.
    • The local time is displayed only for user-generated events and not system generated events.
    • The local time is not displayed for events that happened before enabling this feature.
    • User entry or verification of time zone is required during login.
  • Log Check-in Comments – Enables logging of check-in comments.
    • Records an NDCheckIn event when a document is checked in, that includes the check-in comments in the description portion of the audit log record. This event is persistent.
