CLIFF maintains two audit trails: the Log Audit Trail which tracks changes to individual Logs; and the database Audit Trail which tracks major events in the database, for example deleting Logs.

You may track deletion of Logs and Referrals in CLIFF by enabling the appropriate Application Preferences. (See Log Preferences and Referral Preferences). If the Audit Trail is activated, CLIFF will generate an Audit Trail record for every Log and/or Referral deleted.

To View the Audit Trail

 Choose Audit Trail in the Administration menu. A list of audit records similar to the following will be displayed:

To Search the Audit Trail

1. Enter the search criteria at the top of the window as follows:
   • Date From and Date To for searching in a specific date range.
   • Action to search for a specific action, for example "delete@". Actions include "delete log", "delete referral", "exchange log", "login", "logout", and more.
   • ID to search for specific Log ID
   • User to search for specific user account

   You may choose to include or exclude Login/Logout events as they can be numerous.
