Lifecycle audit log details
The Lifecycle audit tool provides searchable logs that track changes for certain dates. Use the audit log to see when types of changes were made, and which users made the changes.
Important note: The Lifecycle audit tool does not track pricing or restriction changes made.
The Lifecycle audit log shows:
Hotelier timestamp: the date and time the change was made
Event source: where the change was made ("Extranet" for Little Hotelier property users, "Admin" for internal changes)
Type: category of update
Action: details about what was changed (created, updated, etc)
User who made the change: the audit will show the e-mail address of the user who made the change.
Why you may see a masked user: When you see a masked user (e.g., ************** or xxxxx@xxx.xxx) in the audit log, it means the change was made by a member of our support team/Little Hotelier staff. This can happen for a few reasons:
Changes made during onboarding assistance
Performing system updates relating to new features, security, or changes to resolve an issue or ensure stability.
If you have questions about an action made by a masked user, please contact our support team.
