Additionally, the Audit module provides flexible filtering options for audit logs, including Timeline, Module Type, Operation Type, Users, and Status. These filters make it easy to search for specific changes and identify any unauthorized or unintended modifications made to the system.
The audit module also provides the option to export the audit logs to an external file, such as a CSV for further analysis or documentation purposes.
