How do I access our data logs?

Introduction

From the General tab in the left-hand navigation, a client administrator can easily view their Highwire data logs to monitor user activity across their account. As a default, client administrators have access to view activity across the following categories:

  • Contractor Data
  • Password Change
  • Login History
  • Document
  • User Management
  • Email
  • Contractor Changes
  • Projects
  • Project Documents
  • Role Feature Management

For each category, the logs record and retain audit-logging information sufficient to answer the following questions:

  • What activity was performed?
  • Who performed the activity?
  • What object was the activity performed on?
  • When was the activity performed?

The Logs tab that a client administrator sees when they access “General” from the left navigation shows each log category across a horizontal bar:

Role Feature Management Logs

Highwire has two primary roles for clients within the platform - Administrator and User. Highwire allows clients to create unique subcategories of Users and define the specific permissions that the client wants to assign to that subcategory. However, Highwire also offers standard user subcategories (i.e., Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3) that a client can use for simplicity. At any time, a client can create, remove, or update the permissions of a user role, whether a unique client role or a standard user role, within the Highwire system.

The Role Feature Management log documents those actions where a client creates, removes, or updates the permissions for a role within the Highwire system.
