I need to audit the activity that is, what folders, docs, files that the person is accessing in Windchill PDM Link 10.2.

How do I generate a report or see this?

I created a Saved Search called 'Search by User' to helps me find what people have changed and then use the Modified By and Last Modified fields because that also includes objects Created By them. If needed, I would do a separate search to see if they have anything Check Out. You can add more or less Criteria as needed and leave them blank if they're not needed.

This doesn't capture what they've been looking at but not modifying.

If you get real ambitious, Security Audit Reporting (see Site, Utilities, at the bottom) includes a lot more - including every Product / Library accessed, what files downloaded, etc.  Just have to set each to TRUE in configaudit.xml.
