Audit Trail - Get Started

Requirements

The following scripts are required to use Audit Trail and all related functionality covered in the Audit Trail guides:

  • scAuditTrail
  • scAlert

The Audit Trail records changes to selected DataStore variables and maintenance tasks. It is available under History → Logs → Audit Trail.

Viewing the Log

Navigate to History → Logs → Audit trail → Audit trail.

Audit trail view

The log shows all recorded changes with the following columns:

  • Time — when the change occurred.
  • Event — the old value and new value, shown as old → new.
  • Context — the full variable path in the Data Store.
  • User — the user logged in when the change was made.

Use the Filter panel on the left to narrow down the log:

  • Object — filter by a specific object or variable path.
  • Time — show all events, events within a selected time span, or the most recent events only.
  • User — filter by a specific user.
  • Number of rows — limit how many entries are shown.

Click Filter to apply. Click Clear audit trail to permanently delete all log entries.

Maintenance Change Log

Navigate to History → Logs → Audit trail → Audit Trail - Maintenance.

Audit Trail - Maintenance view

This view shows a full history of changes to maintenance tasks. Every status change, deadline update, priority change, assignee change and description edit is recorded automatically. No configuration is needed.

Each row shows:

  • Task — the maintenance type.
  • Object — the object the task belongs to.
  • Changed by — the user who made the change, or System for automatic changes such as missed deadline transitions.
  • Change Time — when the change occurred.
  • Previous Status — the status before the change.
  • Current Status — the status after the change.

Select a row and click Open to see the full before/after detail for that change, including assignee, priority, deadline and description.
