Audit logs - Absences
Updated

Leigh Hutchens
Audit logs are records of past actions within Quinyx. There are two types of absence-related audit logs that can be extracted from Quinyx:
- Absence request audit logs
- Absence audit logs (this page)
They provide a transparent history of who performed an action on an absence, what the action was, when it occurred, and so on. This functionality helps managers:
- Resolve disputes or questions related to absences.
- Access historical activity data for self-service insights into team management.
- Derive key information for workforce planning and unit-level analysis.
Absence audit logs
For absences, audit logs provide a clear history of actions and can help answer questions such as (not limited to):
• When was the absence created?
• Attestation data for the absence
• Absence rate applicable for the absence
• Scheduled shifts impacted by the absence and what was the impact (deleted, keep shift, unassign, etc.).
• What comments were added; by the employee and/or manager
To see the audit logs for absences, navigate to:
Audit logs > Adjust view > [Item type] Absence.
The "Adjust view" panel allows you to refine your search for audit logs using the following filters:

Interpreting absence audit logs: A guide to understanding results
Once you've applied the filters in the adjust view panel, you will see the audit logs page displaying your results and you can see details such as what action was done, who did it, date and time of the action, etc.
Column Header | Explanation |
Time stamp |
|
Groups affected | Displays the units and sections affected by the item. |
Item type | Displays the type of item affected by a given action. |
Item | Displays information to help identify which absence has been actioned and the actions made. This will always show the latest state of that item aligned with the schedule view i.e. the date and time, absence type of that item. |
Action | Identifies the type of action carried out. |
Action made by | Identifies who performed the action. Shows their [first name] [last name] ([badge number]). If the employee was deleted, it displays "Employee has been deleted from Quinyx." The reason for this is that the system no longer holds that information. |
Action made for | Identifies who was affected by the action. The person carrying out the action is indicated as: [first name] [last name] ([badge number]). If the affected person has been deleted, it displays "Employee has been deleted from Quinyx." The reason for this is that the system no longer holds that information. |
Trail | (!) This feature is currently under development for absence item types. |
Property table
Most absence items (based on the action) have more details inside a sub-table called the property table, accessed by clicking the chevron on the leftmost column of the main table.
