Audit Trails Administration Overview

Audit Trails provide a way for you to track when specific pieces of information are changed within the system. The audit information includes the before and after values, as well as the user code of the person who made the change.

The following types of audit trails are available:

Each of these types of audit trails can be activated independently of each other. Audit trails are activated on a per-configuration basis and are reported on a global basis. Audit trails are "all or none;" that is, all case data is audited once audit trails are activated. You cannot choose only specific fields to be audited.

There is an administrative report called the Audit Trails Report that allows you to report on information that is tracked by the audit trails feature.
