Event Reporting gives System Admins visibility into how their organization interacts with Smartsheet data. Use it to access detailed logs of actions taken in your account, such as sheet downloads, deletions, and permission changes, going back up to six months.
USM Content
To use Event Reporting, you or a developer on your team makes authenticated calls to the Smartsheet Events API. No configuration is required in Admin Center, as access is automatic for Enterprise plan System Admins.
For example, you can track which users downloaded sensitive sheets over a set period, or identify who deleted critical items and when.
Event Reporting is available and configured the same way for both the user model and the legacy model.
What Event Reporting tracks
Event Reporting captures the following event types:
- Sheet and report views
- Sheet downloads
- Sheet shares, unshares, and permission changes
- Attachment uploads and downloads
- Form submissions
- Row and column deletions
- Calls to the Smartsheet API
- User logins and authentication events
API call events can be very high in volume. When retrieving Event Reporting data programmatically, use date range filters to avoid timeouts or oversized responses.
Access Event Reporting data
To retrieve Event Reporting data, use the Smartsheet Events API. The Events API documentation covers available endpoints, required authentication, supported filters, and response formats.
