Steps

-> simply visit to Collection type Dictionary entry on your table

-> enable the Audit checkbox

-> now deletion of records will also be tracked and you can recover deleted records from Deleted Records module

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.


Please mark the answer correct/helpful accordingly.

Hi @mania 

 

Go to Dictionary Entries, find your table name, and filter records with "type=collection".

Open the filtered Dictionary Entries and mark Audit as true.
