# For health information managers: Monitoring event history

### Reviewing Event History

The **Event History** tab is a permanent record of every change and document action for the patient. New events appear automatically without refreshing the page.

1. Click the **Event History** tab.
2. Filter the list using the menus above the table: a. Select an event type from the **All event types** menu. b. Select a user from the **All users** menu. c. Select a time period from the date range menu: last 7, 30, or 90 days, or all time. The default is **Last 30 days**.
3. Review the events.

| Field / Column | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **Timestamp** | The date and time of the event. |
| **Event Type** | One of: **Field updated**, **Sync overwrite**, **Document viewed**, **Document downloaded**, **Document uploaded**, **Document removed**, or **Document type changed**. |
| **Field / Document** | The field that changed, or the document involved. |
| **Previous Value** | The value before the change. Shows **—** when there was no previous value or the event isn't a change. |
| **New Value** | The value after the change. |
| **Performed By** | The email address of the user who performed the action. |
| **Source** | How the event happened, such as **Manual edit**, **Manual view**, or **Manual download**. |
4. Click **Previous** or **Next** to move between pages.
5. Click **Export log** to download the filtered events as a CSV file.

Events are never deleted. The note below the table reads "All events retained indefinitely."

> [!NOTE]
> 🔍 **Troubleshooting Note:** If an event you expect doesn't appear, check the filters, especially the date range, which defaults to **Last 30 days**. Select **All time** to see the full history.
