Audit log file

The Audit Log File is the repository for data gathered during the audit. It displays the old and new values of input field data, as well as who made the revisions and when. The log is a record of all update transactions for the specified source file. The system adds one log record per source record update when you update one or more of the source record input fields defined in the Audit Specifications file.

Note: The following procedure displays a list of audit log records only if you have made modifications to contacts records after creating the audit specifications record. Otherwise, the log record is empty.
