Activity and audit log

Every action by people and agents is recorded with who did it. Read it on each job, across a project in What happened, or in the workspace’s audit log, which owners and admins can export for an auditor.

On each job

The What happened section of a job lists everything done on it, by people and agents alike, with its notes. When an action was approved in advance, it says so, and whose approval covered it.

What happened

What happened, in the workspace menu, is the same record across a project: jobs created and changed, notes, runs, questions and answers, decisions and sign-offs, verdicts, shares and revocations, documents published and retired, board moves, and schedules.

  • It shows the last 30 days to start, with a band of days to pick one from, and Show more for older entries.
  • Filter by person, agent or connection, or show only what was sent outside the workspace.
  • Runs of routine actions fold together. Anything sent outside the workspace is always shown on its own line.
  • You see only jobs in projects you belong to. Personal connections appear without their names to anyone but their owners.

The Monday digest

Choose Send this every Monday on What happened to have a summary of the project sent each Monday at 8 am: what is waiting, what moved, what nobody touched, what ended, what starts this week and what should have started, with whether the project is on track.

  • Any member can have it emailed to themselves.
  • A project’s owners and project admins can also have it emailed to everyone in the project, or posted to a Slack channel once Arbituro is in your Slack.
  • Stop it from What happened, or with the link in the email.

The audit log

The workspace’s audit log is called The record. Owners and admins open it from the menu on the Settings page. It shows events across the workspace, events in the projects you belong to, and everything you did yourself. Names of private agents, private skills and personal connections are hidden.

Filter it by who did it, what it was about, and how far back: 7, 30 or 90 days, or the last year.

It records:

People
Invitations, joining, role changes and removals, in the workspace and in each project.
Agents
Changes to agents and their monthly caps, every action approved or denied with who decided it, and requests to stop, rerun or answer a run.
Connections
Connections made, changed, shared, handed on, disconnected or deleted, and approvals in advance granted or revoked.
Work
Board moves requested, signed off, refused or withdrawn, jobs finished, reopened or deleted, projects deleted, criteria changes, verdicts, budgets and rules.
Knowledge
Documents created, revised, published, reviewed and retired.
The workspace
Accepting the terms, exports, deletion requests, billing, request forms, every call from an agent connected over MCP or a program using the API, and API keys made and revoked.

An action a person denies is recorded as denied. An action Arbituro’s own rules refuse, such as an attempt to merge, is shown on the run and in What happened.

Export the audit log

Export, on The record, downloads a CSV file of what the current filters show, up to the newest 10,000 entries. Each row has the time, the person with their name and email, the action, what it acted on, the project, and the details. Cells are written so a spreadsheet can’t run them as formulas. Every export is itself recorded, with how many entries it held and the filters used.

To take everything, an owner can export the whole workspace, which includes the audit log. See Export or delete your data.

What is kept, and for how long

Each entry in the audit log is kept for 400 days. The record of which terms the workspace accepted is kept for as long as the workspace exists. Jobs, their notes and their runs are kept for as long as the workspace exists.
