Systems and methods are provided for improved auditing of user actions associated with a software application. The system includes functionality to log user actions in a structured, standardized way. The system includes interactive user interfaces for analyzing the logs. The logging is based on a well-defined categorization of available actions. The log information includes (and distinguishes among) user details, context details, user inputs, and/or system outputs (including identification of data objects). The interactive user interfaces enable a user to view structured log data in an efficient manner, such as by presenting logs in a tabular format, executing queries on the log data, and/or presenting visualizations that summarize the log data. The interactive user interfaces provide functionality that allows a user to investigate and/or audit user interactions with a data object. A reviewer is permitted to drag and drop one or more data objects of interest from the software application directly into the interactive user interfaces. The interactive interfaces present log entries associated with the object(s) for further review by the reviewer.
