Build Audit Log

Build Audit Log can help you see who is making changes to a given application, at what time, and what those changes are.

Access the Build Audit Log

The Admin - All or Build Module Entitlement is required in order to access this feature. View your Roles or ask your Risk Cloud administrator if you're unsure if you have this access.

Navigate to the Application that you would like to view the Build Audit Log for. You can access the Build Audit Log from two locations:

1. Application Settings menu

   1. Open the menu by clicking the Settings cog in the top right corner of the Application Canvas.

   2. In the settings menu, click on “Export Build Audit Log”

2. Last Updated Timestamp

   1. On an Application Canvas, you will see the date and time of the last Build change that occurred to an Application in your browser’s timezone

   2. This timestamp is hyperlinked and will open the Build Audit Log export modal when clicked
