Audit Trail

Use the Audit Trail feature to track changes to hubs and Chart of Accounts settings.

If you are using Microsoft SQL Server Express, the Audit Trail feature is not available.

Audit trails are triggered when users make updates, deletions, or insertions. Audit trail reporting is supported at both the record level and the field level. Auditing tracks the following information:

  • The original value and the new value of the change
  • The user who changed the value
  • When the change was made

Auditing may cause performance issues if numerous changes are made. Auditing is disabled when the Batch Deletes utility runs.

To view audit trails (by record type), select the appropriate audit trail report in the Reporting application or print the report from a hub.

  • Audit reports display record names, actions performed, user names, and dates.
  • Audit detail reports display actions performed, and old and new data values by column.

Audit reports do not display in the Report List if auditing is disabled. If you enable auditing, you need to log off and then log on again for the change to take place and for the reports to display in the list.

The Audit Trail Reporting feature also creates log files for configuration changes.
