What is tracked
- Edits to plans, overrides, adjustments, assumptions, and configuration.
- Who made each change, and the exact timestamp.
- The before and after of each change, so any number can be traced to its source.
How to use it
1
Find the change
Filter the trail by who, what, or when to locate the edit you are investigating.
2
Read before and after
Each entry carries the prior and new value, so the exact delta is explicit.
3
Trace the number
Follow a number from a report back through the override, adjustment, or assumption that
produced it.
Common questions
Is the audit trail editable?
Is the audit trail editable?
No. It is an append record of changes, which is what makes it a reliable control artifact.
Does it capture ingestion as well as manual edits?
Does it capture ingestion as well as manual edits?
Manual edits to plans, overrides, adjustments, assumptions, and configuration are audited.
Ingestion separately preserves a lossless raw payload per source as its own trail; see
Connect your data.
Troubleshooting
- I cannot see the audit trail: viewing the audit trail is an admin capability. See Permissions.
- A number changed and I cannot find why: filter by the entity and time window around when it changed; the override or adjustment that moved it will carry the before and after.
- A value looks the same in the audit but different on screen: the on-screen figure may be derived from headcount or revenue plans. Trace through the derived posting in GL Mapping.
