View and download my organization's activity log

Learn about the activity log, the events it records, and how to view, filter, and download it via the web app to track your team’s activity across the organization.

What is the activity log?

The activity log is a continuously updated list of changes that occurred within your organization. This allows you to track the changes made by your team in SafetyCulture. This is helpful when an inspection or template goes missing, or when you want to understand how settings have been adjusted for certain features in your organization.

Only certain user activities are captured within the activity log. Please let us know if there are additional events you want to track.

You can only view events from the last 90 days. The date and time reflect your computer's time zone settings.
