Managing Field-Level Auditing

An audit trail is a series of records of activities in an application. In Acumatica ERP, you can keep different audit trails, each devoted to a particular type of activity, such as system events and user activities. For details on monitoring system events, see Managing System-Wide Security Auditing.

The topics of this chapter provide details on the field-level auditing feature, which you can use to configure and manage audit trails that record user changes on the forms.
