Audit Logs in Zoho Projects
Tracking Organization Activities Using Audit Logs
Projects involve multitude of activities from various stakeholders. This also involves, creating, updating, and deleting information as the projects progress through their life cycle. It becomes important to track the actions to ensure accountability and compliance with regulatory requirements.
Zoho Projects allows users to interact directly and indirectly with data to pull the projects and their associated activities through various stages until they are complete.
