The System log records actions performed across employee records in your PeopleForce account. It helps you track changes, identify who performed them, and review additional technical details such as IP address, device, and browser information when available.
You can access the report in the Reports → System log tab.
Getting started with filters
At the top of the report, you can use the following tools:
Add filter – Filter records by:
Date & Time
Performed by
Affected person
Event name
Search – Find specific records by entering keywords.
View settings – Sort records by Date & Time or IP address.
To find events for a specific timeframe, use the Date & Time filter. This is the easiest way to narrow down the report and review only the actions performed during the period you need. You can combine this filter with other filters, such as Performed by or Event name, to investigate specific changes more precisely.
The report updates instantly to show only the entries that match your filters and date range.
