Enable via Dictionary (Recommended)

Step-by-Step:

1. Navigate to: System Definition > Dictionary
2. In the filter, enter:
   • Table: Select your table name (e.g., incident, u_custom_table)
   • Column name: Leave blank or type the table name itself
3. Find the record where Column name matches the Table name (this is the table's base record)
4. Open that Dictionary record
5. Under the Controls section, find:
   • Audit: Check this box (enables insert/update audit)
   • Delete audit: Check this box (this enables delete audit)
6. Click Update

go to sys_dictionary look for your table name and "type=collection",

Open the record and mark "audit" as true.

You may be cautious while enabling audit for any table as it may cause performance degradation.
