Printing Audit Log

I have a question about printing the audit log?

 

The audit log cannot be exported to Excel, so I was going to print it to a pdf.

 

When I selected the time frame and clicked on the printer icon, I noticed that it was only 4 pages long.

I went back and selected the maximum page size of 500 and then now it will print about 10 pages.

 

But the time frame that I need is over 2 years and there are more than 10000 lines/records.  

Can you print the entire audit report based on the dates you set, or do I have to manually move to each grouping of records and then print it?

 

Thanks

Elliot

Printing Audit Log

I’m here to provide information and help improve your experience, @GolfNut72.


The Audit log shows you 150 records at a time, and only the first 300 lines can be printed. You can print the entire audit report based on the date you set as long as it still reaches the available line limit.


Since you have more than 10000 lines of records. You may consider printing them manually by a group to get the complete reports you need.


Here’s how:

 

  1. In the Audit Log page, filter the user and date period.
  2. Select the type of events.
  3. Press the Print icon.


I know how convenient it is to print audit log reports without limits. I recommend sharing this idea with our Product Development team. This way, they can take a look and might consider this as part of the future enhancements. I'm glad to show you the steps:

 

  1. Open your QuickBooks Online Accountant account.
  2. Go to the Gear icon, then select Feedback.
  3. Enter your comments or product requests.
  4. Select Next to submit.


You can track feedback and feature requests through the QuickBooks Online Feature Requests website.


I’ve attached some resources to learn how to access the changes made on a specific transaction and to recover the details:
