Audit History vs Audit Records vs History

[Kamva]

Greetings Administrators,

Can you guys please share the light, I am trying find a difference in Audit History, Audit Records and History tabs in users form. I have also attached some screenshots for your perusal in case they are useful.

Hi @Kamva ,

1.Audit History:

• This tab displays a field-level change history for a specific user record.
• It tracks changes made to fields (such as name, department, role, etc.), showing the old value, the new value, who made the change, and when the change occurred.
• It primarily pulls data from the Audit [sys_audit] table, which stores complete historical information for audited fields.
• This tab is useful for detailed tracking of changes to specific fields within a record.

2. Audit Records:

• The Audit Records tab contains a summary of all audit records related to the user record but across different tables. This includes any associated records that were audited, such as role assignments or department changes.
• It's a broader view of audit information, useful when you want to see changes made not just to the user record but to any records linked to it that are being audited.

3. History:

• The History tab provides a snapshot of all historical changes made to the record as part of the system’s sys_history_line and sys_history_set tables.
• This tab is often used to show the most recently requested or created history for a record. It may not contain a full audit trail but a subset of historical information that was generated when someone viewed or requested history.
• It's generally faster to access than the full audit log since it focuses on recent or specifically requested history.
