Audit Logs: Overview

Designers can customize the user activities they wish to track, including specifying the activities they're interested in monitoring, and the level of detail for that monitoring. Such customization helps performance and makes the audit trail more manageable. Users can view the audit log for a particular record if they have permission to do so; this log is accessed from a toolbar button in the open record.

Prerequisites:

• Audit trail is enabled
• Designer has permission to access the audit trail setup

Auditable activities include:

• View a view
• View, add, update, or delete a record
• View or update a section
• Update a field
• Run a BI Report (as long as it has BI Parameters configured)
• Trigger a system action (e.g. Email)
• Log in and log out

The Log Entries option allows you to view:
