38 Auditing

You can use the Audit Trail module to view additions, changes, and deletions made through the EMC and through PMC Procedures. In addition, the Audit Trail reports on successful and failed sign ins to EMC, PMC Report takers, Key Manager activity, Audit Trail purges, any changes made through Frontline Manager, People Management, Configuration and Content, and the Configuration and Content API.

You can audit an individual record or a group of similar records in most EMC modules. The results usually show the record or records at a specific position. For example, consider the following actions:
  1. Add a Tender Media record at Object Number 1234.

  2. Change the record’s name to Cash.

  3. Delete the record.

  4. Add a new record at Object Number 1234.

  5. Change the record’s name to MasterCard.

After performing these steps, the Audit This Record results show all five of the changes (not just the changes for steps 4 and 5). Although the first Tender Media record was deleted, it is considered “this record” for functional purposes. In short, all records at the same object number are treated as “this record” and are included in the results.
