Download an audit trail of user activities

An administrator can track the activities of individual users within the organization in Ion Reporter™ Software. Using this feature, you can select a screen and a time period to audit, then review a log file of the activities performed by users during that time period. For example, you can see who created analyses and who modified samples.

This feature allows you to meet Title 21 CFR Part 11 of Federal Regulations that establishes the United States Food and Drug Administration regulations on electronic records and signatures, password policies, and user activity auditing.
