Overview
An audit trail is a sequence of records documenting the processing of a transaction flow through an activity or project.
Birdview uses two levels of audit trail log - project and activity. Providing an accurate chronological sequence of records, each of which contains evidence directly pertaining to and resulting from the execution of a business process or system function, an audit trail log can be of great help to a manager.
Important
Only manual changes are recorded in the audit trail log.

Accessing Audit trail
To access the audit trail log of a project or activity:
- Open any activity or project whose audit trail you want to see.
- At the bottom of the Details screen select the Audit trail checkbox.
- As a result, audit trail events will appear on the general log of messages, uploaded files and events.
Timestamps
The timestamps automatically added for system events are time zone-sensitive. It means that a user in time zone T+2 will see an event with a timestamp that is two hours ahead of that which a user in time zone T will see.
Use cases:
- User A (whose time zone is UTC-2) adds a message at 10:20 AM. They open the activity audit trail log and see that they added the message at 10:20 AM.
- User B (whose time zone is UTC+1) opens the activity audit trail log and sees that User A added a message at 01:20 PM.
