Every action,
on the record.

What gets written down every time.
One approval, taken apart. Every piece below is stamped on the entry the moment it happens, and none of it can be changed afterwards.
What was touched
The record the action was taken on and the area it sits in, linked straight back to it.
Kind of action
Upload, approval, access change or export, so you can filter the log down to just one.
Before and after
What the record said before the change and what it says now, side by side on the entry.
Permanent
Entries can’t be edited or deleted, so the log holds up when someone questions it.
Roles
Owner, Admin, Manager or Viewer. Each role has explicit permissions, so people can only do what their role allows.
Who and when
The person and the exact time, stamped on every entry without anyone typing it.
One approval, as the log saw it.
Every step behind a single subcontractor approval, each one stamped as it happened.
Invited
R. Kaur sends Brightline Electrical their invite link from the subcontractor list.
Uploaded
Brightline uploads three compliance documents through the link.
Reviewed
R. Kaur opens each document before deciding. The views are logged too.
Approved
Status moves from Pending review to Approved, with the before and after on the entry.
Exported
A dispute comes up. The trail is filtered to Brightline and exported in seconds.
Setting up who can do what.
The log records everything from day one. Setting up is about deciding who should be able to do what.
- Day 1
Define your roles
Start from Owner, Admin, Manager and Viewer, and set what each can view, create, update and delete.
- Day 1
Assign your team
Give each person the access they need and no more. Changing someone’s role is logged as well.

Review and export
Filter the log by person, date, action or record, and export it as CSV or PDF when someone asks.
Questions people ask.
What gets logged?
Every change, view and decision in BusinessVault, with a timestamp, the person who took it, the record affected and its before and after state.
Can anyone edit or delete log entries?
No. Entries are permanent once they are written.
What roles are there?
Owner, Admin, Manager and Viewer. Each has explicit permissions to view, create, update and delete each type of record.
Can we export the log?
Yes. Export the full log or a filtered part of it as CSV or PDF, ready for an audit, insurance claim or legal matter. Every export is logged too.
Are role changes recorded?
Yes. Changing someone’s role is itself an entry in the log.
