There is inconsistency in the Person menus…



More Info:
In this case the Office | Person menu should show ”Microsoft 365 E3”

See the below text from our document on how to set up the security ourselves
Whenever you create a Site Collection, two O365 groups get created (xxx-Owners and xxx-Members). For retro-compatibility, these O365 groups are automatically added to the SharePoint groups at creation time.
(Note for SharePoint gurus: O365-xxx-Members is mapped to SharePoint-xxx-members, but O365-xxx-Owners is mapped to… Site Collection Administrators! Crazy.)
SharePoint membership grants access to SharePoint resources, while access to Teams features (Channels, tabs, apps) is controlled directly via O365 groups.
The problem with this model is we cannot add AD (Active Directory) groups (or even O365 groups) within O365 groups (no nesting allowed). So, if we want to give access to two different sites to the same people (say SSWDevelopers), we must add ALL MEMBERS manually on EACH generated O365 group. That is ridiculous, and hard to maintain long term.
From the audit result, if you double-click a line and then click “More information”, here is what you see :

Which is great! A lot of useful information in there!
However, if you export the Audit result, here is what you get :

The whole “More information” data is a single column !!
It is indeed easy to format but requires extra work, and is not ideal.
Suggestion: make these information extra columns in the export!
Consider this search result:

When I click on “Details” (or double click), I can see :

This is terribly misleading ! The source is displayed as “/Shared Documents/xxx”, which I assumed being “sswcom.sharepoint.com/Shared Documents/xxx”, but is in fact “sswcom.sharepoint.com/sites/SSWNetworkAdmins/Shared Documents/xxx”. The displayed path is indeed relative, but relative to the site collection, not the whole tenant. Which is misleading in a “unified” log (where results can come from pretty much any site collection).
Suggestion: I would love to have options to:
The “File, Folder or Site” box shouldn’t a simple text filter.
Say I want to have results for my root site only (sswcom.SharePoint.com) – without subsites (say, sswcom.SharePoint.com/sysadmins), I have currently no way of doing it. Searching for “sswcom.sharepoint.com” will give me results that are in subsites or pretty much anything that includes “sswcom.sharepoint.com”.
Suggestion: Either implement “smart” search with the keyword (E.g. “sswcom.sharepoint.com” AND (NOT “sswcom.sharepoint.com/sysadmin”)) OR add a multi-select dropdown to pick the sources (sites, subsites, teams, etc…)

Office 365 dates seem to be too simple. Audit data should be crystal clear (as detailed as possible).
I find audit history on Office365 to be lacking E.g. sswcom.sharepoint.com
It certainly is less useful than Sharepoint 2016 as dates were shown better.
I searched for a record on the 2 lists and here is what I see:
Office 365 Eg. sswcom.sharepoint.com show me last activity as Friday at 2:15 PM
SharePoint 2016 Eg. intranet.ssw.com.au show me last activity as Created at 9/03/2018 5:06 PM
I find it less useful as it doesn’t tell me the date it was created on. I would prefer to have something like “2 days ago at 2:15 PM (Friday 9/03/2018)”
PS: This is very simple to do with Moment.js
