Overview

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

Field

Description

Who

The name of the user who made the change.

Certain data changes or records may be triggered by the system, or due to changes of related records. In those situations, the listed user may be set as dbSystem or dbDataConversion.

When

The date and time of the change.

Field

The name of the field that was updated.

In certain circumstances, Field may contain the context or description of a record change.

Some examples of this include:

  • creation of a new record -- the Field contains the record name, and the new value contains “Record Added”.

  • changes to a user record – the field may include description of the action, such as “Security Group Added” with the new value containing a value of the security group name, or “Is Verified” with the new value containing a value of 1 or True.

Old Value

The previous value of the field.

New Value

The new/changed value of the field.

Record Deletion

Deletion of certain record types may be reflected in the 'parent' record’s history. For example, the deletion of a document from a submission that had been at some point set to Final status, is recorded as part of the Submission History.
