What is Audit Trail?

Audit trail is used to monitor the changes of information which is considered as important.  Audit trail settings provides the ability to select which entities and which fields should be monitored. Only one instance of active audit trail settings per each entity can be configured in the system and it can only be applied on predefined CRM.COM entities.

Audit trail settings are applied, either through the UI or Web API, during the execution on any of the following processes, being applied on entities or fields which are monitored by Audit Trail:

  • Modifying
  • Deleting
  • Removing information 

In addition Audit trail can be applied to a block of information or to components of that block. For example, for the Contact information entity you can monitor the addresses of the contact, You have the option to monitor the whole address block or you have the option to only monitor specific components of the address, i.e., Address/District.

When you select to monitor the address block then every time that an address is modified, added or deleted then a record will be added in the audit trail. When you select to monitor the district, when you update the district of an already defined address, then an audit trail record will be added.
