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.

Open User Activity Report

Step 1. Sign in to Central Administration.

Step 2. Click Reports.

Step 3. Click Administrative Reports.

Step 4. Click User Activity Report.

Set report filters

Step 5. Enter the From and Through dates, or click Set To Last 2 Weeks.

Step 6. Select a Provider, or leave the field blank to include all providers.

Step 7. Select a User, or leave the field blank to include all users.

Step 8. Enter a Minimum Hit Count only when low-activity records should be excluded.

Tip

Begin with a short date range and a known provider or user. Expand the scope only after confirming that the report returns the expected type of activity summary.

Run or export the report

Step 9. Click Run Report to open the results in a new tab.

Step 10. Click CSV to export the same filtered results when a spreadsheet file is needed.

Review the results

Step 11. Review User, Provider, Span Start, IP Address, and HitCount.

Step 12. Enter a value in Search to narrow the displayed rows.

Step 13. Use Print or Export or Hide/Show Columns when needed for review or documentation.

Warning

HitCount is a summary count, not a complete list of changes. Use the User Action Report to identify detailed actions, affected records, and before-and-after values.

 

Important

The CSV can contain user names, provider names, IP addresses, and activity information. Store and share the export according to your organization’s security and records-retention policies.
