Audit Log

Learn about Audit Log in Fundraise Up.

Fundraise Up’s Audit Log provides your organization with a detailed history of all changes made to one-time donations and recurring plans, including historical data.

The Audit Log allows you to view and pinpoint changes made by staff, donors and the system providing additional security and accountability. It also allows you to search and filter by different users and actions, and identify issues or trends in real time.

Access to the Audit Log

The Audit Log is only visible to users with the Organization Administrator, Campaign Administrator and Support Specialist roles in Fundraise Up. Parent accounts will be able to see the history of changes made to one-time donations and recurring plans for all subaccounts.
