Audit Trails

Every time an EMu user inserts or modifies a record, EMu documents this change. The Audit Trails module is where this information is recorded.

Search Audit Trails via the Audit tab

Audit trails can be confusing, but are helpful for determining when a change (or series of changes) were made in EMu. You can see a history of edits by using the Audit tab in the Catalog or Audit modules. Audit trails can be very long, and therefore certain extensive searches can take awhile.

Example:

Searching the Audit tab in the Catalogue module.

Open any one of the records and look at the Audit tab.

Searching the Audit tab in the Catalogue module.

In this example, “dlucas” updated the record at 2:14pm and “dmarkbrieiter” updated it again at 3:30pm.

Select the “dlucas” row and click the blue arrow at right to see the details in the Audit Trails module. (If you do not select a row, the blue arrow will open all three records.)

Results displayed in the Audit Trails module.

In this instance, “dlucas” changed Type Status from “figured” to “hypotype”, and Project from “EPICC” to “IMLS”.

Your color scheme may be different. In this example, pink indicates new data, and blue replaced data. The color scheme can be customized in Tools > Options… > Colours.
