# Search History Logs

**Audience:** Super Admin, Admin\
**Page type:** Task guide\
**Status:** Draft\
**Owner:** Compassly Documentation Team\
**Last verified:** 2026-04-06

## Purpose

Use the table search field on **History logs** to quickly narrow the visible records.

## Before you start

* You must be on the **History logs** page.
* A report must already be generated.

## Role differences

* **Super Admin / Admin:** Can search the visible log records.
* **Other roles:** \[VERIFY: confirm whether any non-admin roles can search History logs.]

## Steps

1. Open **History logs**.
2. Click the search field above the table.
3. Enter a keyword.
4. Review the filtered results as you type.
5. Clear the search field when you want to return to the unsearched table.

## Important

* Search starts from the first entered character.
* Search is not case sensitive.
* The keyword can match at any position in the supported values.
* The search field placeholder updates to show the current number of visible records across all pages.
* Search works together with the current report criteria and any active table filters.

## What happens next

* Apply column filters if you need to narrow the results further.
* Download the report if you need to export the currently filtered results.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://compassly.gitbook.io/compassly-docs/core-modules/audit-logs/search-history-logs.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
