# Enabling inclusion list auditing for a table

# Enabling inclusion list auditing for a table {#ariaid-title1}

* Release version: Xanadu
* 
* Updated August 1, 2024

* ![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read

Enable a table to audit only those fields you explicitly designate. This is useful
when you want to audit only a small number of fields in an audited table.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

The table must be [enabled for
auditing](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/c3v41~otlgm2W9hoeG6d0A "You can enable table auditing to track changes to all or some of the table's fields.").

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllSystem DefinitionDictionary.  
   The system displays the list of dictionary entries. The list includes a row for each table as well as a row for each column (field) in the table.
2. If necessary, customize the list view to show the Attributes column. {#enable-whitelist-for-table__lrd_vzm_lx}
3. In the list of dictionary entries, find the row corresponding to the table you want to audit, for example `cmdb_ci_computer`.  
   You can distinguish the row for the table itself -- versus a row for a column in the table -- by finding the row with the correct table name, an empty entry for Column name, and a type of collection.
4. In the Attributes field for that row, enter audit_type=whitelist. {#enable-whitelist-for-table__byv_nph_tw}

## What to do next

[Designate which fields you want
to audit in this table.](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/UyG5O0Zx3RN8ismNB0JzEg "Track a subset of fields in an audited table by add those fields to an inclusion listing.")
