Can you see what has been changed in your system? Having the ability to track changes can allow you to find and fix errors or even fraud. Sometimes change errors are simple, such as the change of a vendor or customer address, meaning a check or invoice may be sent to the wrong address. Sometimes the change errors are more dramatic, like a schema change to your system that causes a whole department to lose critical access. When these issues arise, being able to review specific changes can make the difference
With the Audit Trail module, you can track what has been changed throughout your system. As a detective tool, Audit Trail allows you to find errors or fraudulent activity. Having the ability to see before and after values allows you to correct the issues once found.
Many systems include a change or activity tracking feature. Activating this feature can be helpful, but often tracking features are designed for troubleshooting, not ongoing auditing, and may cause a system to slow down. This is particularly true with features that don’t allow selective auditing. For instance, when tracking changes to vendor data, address changes are important, vendor birthdays less so, but many systems may force you to track the entire form, increasing the system burden.
The Audit Trail module includes a selection of templates built to track commonly-audited items in a system, with minimum system impact. Audit Trail can let you select what is tracked to the lowest security level so each report is only tracking what you need.
