Schedule Audit Reports

The Schedule Audit Reports feature helps you to automatically generate and send detailed audit reports of all AD management actions performed by help desk technicians using ADManager Plus. These reports cover important tasks like password resets, user creation or deletion, and changes to user attributes.

With this feature, you can:

• Keep track of technician activities without doing it manually.
• Get reports in PDF, XLSX, CSV, or HTML formats at regular intervals.
• Store reports for audit and compliance purposes.

Details of attribute modifications

The Details column in exported reports provides information about configured or modified attributes. This information is available in two formats: Standard View and Summary View.

• In the Standard View, all modified attributes are displayed at a glance.
• In the Summary View, you must click the View Details link to examine specific modified or newly configured attributes.

While the Standard View gives a broad overview of attribute modifications, the Summary View helps you drill down into individual changes for deeper analysis.

By default:

• Summary View is used for PDF and HTML formats.
• Standard View is used for XLS and CSV formats.

However, you can choose your preferred view format at the time of report scheduling.
