nVIRO tracks changes made to functional area records and makes the changes available for users to view from various Audit History pages.
Audit history is accessed by clicking the View History button in the sidebar on the related functional area record.
Audit History Contents and Layout
Audit history records include information to data value changes and to various events, such as status changes on a record.
When View History is selected for a functional area record, a panel appears displaying the updated data field (or context of the change), old and new values, who made the change, and the date/time of the change. Changes made at the same date/time by a user in a single transaction are grouped together.
Audit History Fields
Use tables to organize lists and columns of data.
