Audit log lists all the changes made in the database for the selected objects. Using the Audit Log Settings form, you can select objects for tracking the history of their changes in audit log.

To select the application objects for including in audit log, open Administration > Service Tools > Audit Log.

The application registers all the changes made in the database to the application's metadata. The current version of the application includes the following metadata:

• Master records (175)
• Documents (125)

If the selected object has multiple attributes (fields), they appear in the right part of the form and you can select which of the attributes will be tracked in audit log.
