Audit Report General Information

When you run an Audit Report, the following will occur:

Sharegate creates a document library

Sharegate will create a document library in your site collection so that it can store the audit files generated by SharePoint.

After being analyzed by Sharegate, the files are deleted and this library will be empty so it doesn't affect your environment.

Note for SharePoint 2010 environments: Sharegate will need to activate the built-in Reporting feature of SharePoint so that it can generate audit files. This feature does not need to be activated in the other versions of SharePoint in order for Sharegate to generate an audit report.

How-To

1. Select the item you would like to perform the action on from the Explorer.
2. Click Audit Report from the Quick Actions panel.
3. Verify the target(s) of the action.
4. Select the user or group you want to include in the report (see below for details).
5. Select the date or date range you want to include in the report (see below for details).
6. Select the events you want to include in the report (see below for details).
7. Click Run Now. This task can also be scheduled if preferred.
8. In the case that there are warnings or errors, they will be displayed with details in separate tabs near Results. See the Edit page for how to modify or transform results.

Note: In Office 365, there might be some events that are considered as "Unknown". These events are not yet supported by Sharegate. If you ever encounter one of them, you can follow this procedure to view the event the way it is displayed in Sharepoint.

Users

Select the users, the time range, and the event you would like to audit.

Date

Note: It is normal to see the third option greyed out when running an audit report on an Office 365 environment. Office 365 does not track audit information about views in their audit log.
