🔍 Overview

If you need to confirm when a specific project was created or when an audit began, Search Atlas stores this information in the project's audit history. This is useful for tracking timelines, reporting, or troubleshooting discrepancies in project data.

📋 What Is the Audit History?

The audit history is a record of key events tied to a project, including date information related to when activity on that project was first recorded. Reviewing this history gives you a reference point for project timelines.

🗂️ How to Find a Project's Start Date

To locate the start date for a project, navigate to the project within your Search Atlas account. Once inside the project, look for the audit history or activity log associated with that project. The earliest date entry recorded there reflects when activity for that project was first logged in the system.

If you are unable to locate the audit history for your specific project type, our support team can look up the correct project start date on your behalf. When reaching out, please have the following ready:

  • The exact name of the project you are inquiring about
  • A description of what you expected to see versus what is displayed
  • Any relevant timestamps or screenshots that illustrate the discrepancy

⚠️ If the Start Date Looks Incorrect

If the date shown does not seem accurate, the support team can investigate and confirm the correct recorded start date for your project. To help them resolve this quickly, please prepare:

  • The exact project name
  • A description of what you expected versus what is displayed

💡 Tips for Tracking Project Timelines

  • If you manage multiple projects, checking the audit history for each project individually is the most reliable way to confirm each project's recorded start date.
