Why Audit Trails Matter
For research compliance (IRB, GDPR, HIPAA), you may need to demonstrate:- Who accessed participant data and when
- What actions were taken on the data
- Which specific datasets were involved
Tracked Actions
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
view | A user viewed a dataset or participant response |
download | A user downloaded dataset files |
delete | A user deleted a dataset |
ai_analysis | AI-powered analysis was run on the data |
Viewing the Audit Trail
- Navigate to your Organization settings
- Select the Audit Log tab
- Browse the log entries, which show:
- Timestamp — When the action occurred
- User — Who performed the action
- Action — What was done (view, download, delete, AI analysis)
- Quest — Which quest the data belongs to
- Details — Additional metadata (file names, dataset IDs, etc.)
Availability
The data audit trail is available for organization-owned quests. Personal quests (not associated with an organization) do not generate audit entries.Audit trail data is retained indefinitely and cannot be modified or deleted. This ensures the integrity of the compliance record.
