System Log

The System Log allows you to maintain a record of everything that was done in CERVIS and by whom. Administrators can view every action that takes place in CERVIS. Those with Leadership Team access can only view the actions that they performed. Additionally, the System Log gives Administrators the ability to troubleshoot user-reported errors. Log entries are retained for 6 months in your console.  

Follow these steps to view the System Log:

1. From the Main Dashboard, click on “View System Log” under the System Management heading.
2. To search the System Log, you can type your search criteria in the search bar at the top of the page (i.e. email address, last name, etc.) and select “Search System Log” or you can use one of the quick searches listed under Advanced Options.
   • The Advanced Options will show only certain types of listings. The different options are listed below:
     • Find Sent E-mail Messages
     • Find Failed Sign-in Attempts
     • Find System Configuration Changes
     • Find Deleted Items

The System Log will tell you when specific ‘events’ have occurred within your organization’s account. These events include:

• When someone logs in and with what access level.
• When there is a failed login attempt and who made the attempt.
• When a password reset is requested and what the temporary password is.
• When an E-mail is sent out. The System Log will also list who sent the E-mail out and the total number of recipients. A copy of the email, the list of recipients, and the email analytics can also be viewed by clicking on the view email icon ().
