Audit Trail

Audit Trail

An audit trail records all changes that content managers make to an asset. Content managers, administrators, and glossary consumers can view the audit trail in the
Activity
section of the asset.
The audit trail indicates all the previous values of the asset property and the changed value. The audit trail contains information about the user who made the edit and the date on which the user made the edit. Users can sort the audit trail information in ascending or descending order.
As a content manager, use the audit trail to view past edits to the asset. You can compare the property value from a past edit to the current value. Use this information to ensure that the changes are approved or compliant with the approval process.
If the Glossary administrator has enabled the approval workflow, the audit trail displays the voting history for the asset. View the
Voting History
tab to see the number of votes cast, the name of the approvers, and the actions performed by the content managers.
For example, the data steward might change the description of a business term after approval by the stakeholder. As a stakeholder, you can view the audit trail to ensure that this change meets the needs of the organization.
