Set the audit logging level of Dermi Atlas Professional, understand what each entry records, and read a member's, a patient's, or the deployment's activity.
Dermi Atlas Professional keeps an audit log of sign-ins, account changes, administrative actions, and, at the Comprehensive level, every access to and change of a patient record. The log is the evidence a practice relies on to review access, answer a patient's inquiry, and assess a suspected incident.
The logging level is set in Dermi Atlas Manager and applies to the whole deployment. Sign-in, account, administration, and membership events are recorded at both levels; the level decides whether clinical activity is recorded.
Records the events that are always logged, and no clinical activity:
Comprehensive is the default. It records everything Essential records, plus:
Activity is recorded per feature, so one area of a record can be isolated later. Full Body sessions and the lesions documented within them, for example, are recorded under a Full Body resource type that the patient activity log filters on.

The level is set in the Settings group of the Administration area of Dermi Atlas Manager, which is opened with the admin passphrase on the host computer. It cannot be changed from Atlas.
A change applies to events from that moment on. Entries already recorded keep their detail.
The actor is what attributes an action to a person, and the attribution stays in the log after the member leaves the team.
Every member can read all of their own activity, clinical and account alike:
Every action recorded against a patient record is read from that record:
The drawer holds the team's trail for that patient. Each entry names the member who performed the action beneath its time, and the reader's own entries carry the suffix "(You)". Entries written by another member are shown without that member's IP address and device details.
The Action, Resource, Member, and Period filters combine, so a dense history can be narrowed to the events under review. On a team with a single member, member names and the Member filter are not shown.

When nothing is listed and the level is Essential, the drawer reports that audit logging is set to Essential. Entries recorded earlier under Comprehensive still list.
The Administration Activity card, under the Deployment heading of the Administration area in Dermi Atlas Manager, opens a drawer through View Activity that lists every member's sign-ins and account security events and every administrative action on the deployment, newest first. The Action, Performed By, and Period filters at the top of the drawer narrow the list. Clinical activity is not listed there. The card is described in Atlas Manager Administration.

An administrator reviewing a single account reads it in two places:
No view lists one account's clinical activity across every patient; that list is available only to the member, through Your Activity Logs.
What happens to a record's activity log when the record is deleted depends on the Data Deletion Policy: Recoverable keeps the log for the retention period, Standard (the default) removes the record's earlier entries and keeps the deletion event under Comprehensive logging, and Permanent removes the log at once. The policies and the retention period are set out in Configuring Data Retention for Deleted Records.
Deleting an account removes the person, not the practice's records. The entries the member wrote stay in the log and keep naming that account as the actor. The account's own sign-in and account history expires at the end of the retention period.
The one action that removes the clinical activity log from a deployment is the deployment purge in Dermi Atlas Manager. It is permanent, and it keeps the accounts, the sign-in and administration activity, and existing backups. See Atlas Manager Administration.
