Purpose |
Review CAREWare user logins and summarized activity by date, provider, user, IP address, and hit count. This is a security feature to identify if bad actors are attempting to access the CAREWare system. |
|
Who should do this |
CAREWare administrators, security staff, data managers, or designated support staff with access to Central Administration and Administrative Reports. |
|
Use this report when |
You need a high-level review of who accessed CAREWare, where the activity occurred, and how many actions were recorded during a selected period. |
|
Main warning |
The report summarizes activity. It does not identify each client or data change. Use the User Action Report when an action-level audit trail is required. |

Quick path
Central Administration > Reports > Administrative Reports > User Activity Report
Before you begin
• Sign in to Central Administration and confirm that your account can open Administrative Reports.
• Choose the date range and decide whether to limit the report to one provider or one user.
• Use Minimum Hit Count only when low-activity sessions should be excluded from the results.
• Decide whether the summary is sufficient or whether the detailed User Action Report is needed.
|
Important Leaving Provider blank includes activity from all providers. Use a short, focused date range when reviewing a specific event or concern. |
