Feature Request: Enhance Dashboard Auditing Page

Currently, the dashboard auditing page lacks the ability to search or download auditing logs. This limitation makes it difficult to locate logs for specific accounts or export them for external auditing and compliance purposes.

Additionally, the "delete reason" field is too generic, as it only displays "Permanently deleted." Providing more detailed information— the specific reason—would greatly improve traceability and auditing accuracy.

Requested Enhancements:

  • Add search and filter functionality for auditing logs.

  • Enable export/download options (CSV or PDF) for external auditing.

  • Enhance the "delete reason" field to include detailed context.

These improvements will make the auditing page more useful for both internal monitoring and compliance reporting.
