Want to know who made changes to a record, when it was updated, or whether an email was sent? The Log is where you’ll find that information.
The Log view in GovPilot is a centralized audit tool that lets you view system activity. This includes changes made to records, payment history, and all outgoing emails—making it a valuable reference point for administrators and users tracking recent record activity.
You can access the Log in two ways:
1. From the Home Page (Global Log)
To access the Global Log from the Home Page, look at the left-hand navigation menu and click Log or the Folder icon. This opens the global view, which includes all activity across all modules and records.
This opens a full-screen view with three tabs:
Record History tab
View a full list of record edits and activity.
Includes:
-

You’ll also have the option to Resend emails if needed.
2. From an Individual Record
You can also access a record-specific Log by clicking the Log button in the bottom-right corner of a record's form view.
This brings up the same three tabs—but the content is limited to that specific record. You won’t see filters in this view, but it’s helpful when reviewing changes, payments, or sent emails for a particular record.
