Audit Trail FAQ

Q: What is auditing?

A: This is a tool for admins to review data. Using various data tables, an admin can look through some audits to locate any additions, deletions and/or modifications to a field of data.

So, for example, if a Student Name was altered - an admin can to Admin>Audit Trail>Updates/Deletes and run a search on the "Student" data table. In the "Field" dropdown, there will be a field named "studentName."

If you search on that, you'll get results for any updates to a student's name:
