Why is my "audit" checkbox missing in Dictionary Entry for scoped app's table that extends Task

mike275 · ‎09-23-2019

I'm developing a scoped app and I have 2 tables that extend Task and several more that do not.

I'm trying to enable auditing for the one that extends task, following the SNOW documentation directions, but I don't see the "audit" checkbox on the form. I can see it on the form for a non-task table. I am looking at the correct record - blank column field and type of collection:

If I look at the same form for another table, the audit is there:

Ok confirmed. Since it is extended from Task auditing is turned on by default. If you look at system definition > Dicionary then search for your table name. As log as the entry with the field type as collection is set with audit true then the entire table is audited.

Hi Mike,

Have you opened the field corresponding to Collection type; also can you check audit column from list layout in the dictionary

Mark ✅ Correct if this solves your issue and also mark 👍 Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.

I will double check in my PDI but I'm almost positive that if a table is extended from a table that is audited such as the task table. The new table will be audited by default so you do not have to turn it on.

Brian,

The task table is not audited.

your are correct. I'm not seeing the audit checkbox on any of my tables. Event if they are or are not extended from task. However you can click on the related list "show list" then right click and choose configure > dictionary. Search for the entry with type collection and set audit to true for your table.
