How do I View the Global Document Usage Log?Document usage logs provide a permanent record of all of the interactions that system users have with individual versions of a document. Library administrators can search and view usage of files even after the file has been deleted. This functionality is critical when complying with the records management standards. With the document usage tool, you can quickly search the entire library to reveal all interactions that any user has had with library documents and when they had it. You can search for any type of action that has occurred to a document. This same usage log can be viewed at the document version level by selecting the view history option, selecting a document version and clicking the usage button. All of this acts as a permanent record protecting the integrity of the file and providing a course of action in the event that a disgruntled employee, contractor or otherwise has been negligent.As opposed to viewing the usage log for a specific file in the libary, the global document usage log allows library administrators to look at all user interactions agains all documents in the library. Reports can be run against various actions and events, as well as keywords and other items to bring up detailed reports of users, what files they have accessed and what they did to the files. You can search by Document name, or partial contents of a document name, the type of document, what type of user action you are looking for (Copy File, Check Out, Move/Transfer, etc) as well as search through a date range by using the calendar date controls.
