At times, it can be extremely important to have record of user interactions with the PensionPro application, be they an Employee updating Plan information or a Contact sending a Secure File Exchange. PensionPro tracks this activity, and can provide this information in the form of a log.

Overview
Logs are maintained for each PensionPro user. This includes both Employees who utilize the PensionPro application as well as Contacts who use PlanSponsorLink. Records of these events can be retrieved on a per-user basis, or can be exported at a firm-wide level.
PensionPro provides three different types of logs: Activity, Audit, and Authentication logs.
Activity Logs
The Activity Log tracks general user actions while using PensionPro and the date and time that they were performed. This includes the following activities:
- Viewing records
- Performing a search
- Using Data Deletion
- Executing a Power Tool
- Creating a Merge Document
- Sending a Secure File Exchange
- Sending a Blast Email
- Viewing a report
- Executing a saved Fetch query
- Enabling/disabling Multi-Factor Authentication
- Viewing PlanSponsorLink tabs & Data Collection
Audit Logs
An Audit Log tracks changes made to PensionPro records such as Clients and Plans. This log details whether a record was added, updated, or deleted, as well as the date and time the action occurred.
Authentication Logs
The Authentication Log stores a record of each time authorization was granted to a user attempting to access PensionPro. In most cases, this will be when the user logs in to the application. PensionPro records the IP address and timestamp, as well as the area where authorization was granted, including the following:
- PensionPro
- Fetch
- PlanSponsorLink
