Review search and login history

The History page records your account’s past searches and logins so you can audit what was searched, when, and under which Case. It also lets you export that log as a report and delete entries you no longer need.

History is a per-activity audit log. It is not your billing Transaction history — those are separate.

Forensic Mode is required for history

History is retained only for cases that keep an audit trail. When a Case has Forensic Mode on, it keeps a search-and-login history; when a case is Private (Forensic Mode off), no history is kept (per Lee, 2026-07-08). The History page therefore reflects activity for forensic (audited) cases only.

Open the History page

1. Open the left navigation.
2. Select History. The active item is highlighted with the coral accent.

The page subtitle reads “Review and manage your search history.”

What history records

Each entry is a single logged action, tied to a Case. The table has these columns:

Column	Meaning
ID	The entry’s identifier.
CASE	The Case the action belongs to.
TYPE	Either login or search.
DESCRIPTION	A plain-language summary of the action.
CREATED AT	When the action occurred, as DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS.
ACTIONS	Row controls (see Delete a single entry).

The TYPE column distinguishes the two kinds of logged activity:

• login entries describe a sign-in, for example “User logged in using email and password.”
• search entries describe a lookup, for example “User searched for people - person-predicta.”

The table is vertically scrollable, so more entries may exist below the visible set.

Filter and export history

The controls above the table let you narrow the log and generate a report from it:

Control	Label	Function
Case filter	FILTER BY CASE	Restricts the history entries to a single Case.
Format	FILE TYPE	Sets the export file format (Xlsx in the captured state).
Filename	FILENAME	Names the generated report file.
Export	Generate Report	Produces a downloadable report from the current filter, file type, and filename.
Bulk delete	Delete All	Removes every history entry (see below).

To export your history:

1. Choose a Case in FILTER BY CASE.
2. Set the FILE TYPE.
3. Optionally type a FILENAME.
4. Select Generate Report.

Caution

The full list of FILE TYPE options and the exact on-disk format of the generated file are not yet confirmed. The glossary records Report artefacts as .xlsx, and the FILE TYPE control shows Xlsx, but other options have not been captured.

Delete a single entry

Each row’s ACTIONS column has a Delete button (trash icon) that removes that one history entry.

1. Find the entry in the History table.
2. Select the Delete (trash) button in its ACTIONS column.

Caution

The confirmation dialog and post-delete state for a single-entry Delete have not yet been captured, so the exact prompt and result are not documented here.

Delete all history

The red Delete All button at the top-right of the page removes all history entries.

1. Confirm you have exported any history you want to keep first (Delete All is a bulk removal).
2. Select Delete All.

Caution

Any confirmation dialog for Delete All has not yet been captured. Treat this as a bulk, likely irreversible removal and export first if you need a record.

Case Summary panel

At the bottom of the History page (and shared with the Bookmarks and Reports pages) is a Case Summary panel that aggregates per-Case totals.

Column	Meaning
CASE NAME	The Case.
NUMBER OF BOOKMARKS	Count of bookmarks saved to that Case.
REPORTS CREATED	Count of reports generated for that Case.
LAST UPDATE	The Case’s most recent activity timestamp; N/A means no recorded activity.

Team accounts

Cases — and therefore their history — can be shared on team accounts, which draw on a single shared credit pool controlled by a team leader. Single accounts do not share (per Lee, 2026-07-08).
