What are Audit Trail Settings?
Audit Trail Settings define the rules governing Audit Trail logging in the System which monitors changes performed on System entries. Through Audit Trail Settings, the entities and fields that should be monitored can be selected. Only one 'Active' instance of Audit Trail Settings per Entity can be configured in the System. Audit Trail Settings can only be applied on predefined CRM.COM entities, either through the UI or Web API and during the execution on any of the following processes:
- Modifying
- Deleting
- Removing information
The logging of an Audit Trail can be applied to a block of information or to components of that block. e.g., for the Contact Information Entity, the complete address block or only specific components of the address (e.g Address/District) can be monitored. When an address block is monitored, every time the address is modified, added or deleted, an entry will be added to the Audit Trail. When the district is monitored, an Audit Trail entry will be added when the district of an already defined address is updated.
- Navigate to Audit Trail Settings and explore existing entries via the Summary page.
- Click on the link (Name or Number) of the entry of your interest to enter the Data Entry page and see more detail.
- Use the Actions Menu to create a NEW Audit Trail Setting, modify (EDIT) or DELETE an existing one.
- Use BACK to return to the Summary page and CANCEL to revert any unwanted changes made to the Audit Trail Setting.
View the Audit Trail Entities Table for a complete list of the entities that can be monitored using the Audit Trail and the Attributes Table for a comprehensive description of the Audit Trail Settings fields.
