View the Audit Log

The Audit Log in MyGeotab lists notable events and helps you track changes made to your account when multiple users have Administrator access. You can also view order-related information after you have submitted an order request, which is helpful if you misplace your product order (PO) number. The Audit Log does not provide information about whether the Reseller has approved or cancelled the order request.

To view order-related information in the Audit Log, follow the steps below:

1	From the main menu, select Administration > System… > Audit Log.
2	On the Audit Log page, click the Options button.
3	In the dropdown window, enter “Purchase hardware” in the Audit types field and select a date period.
