What are Audit Logs?
Audit logs are a record of all actions taken in the eCourtDate system. They are used to track changes to data, settings, and users.
Technically, each log is a request to the eCourtDate API by a human user or API client.
Audit logs are read-only. This ensures that all actions are recorded and can be reviewed later.
