Audit trail

Clicking the Log link in the top menu bar displays the audit trail. The most recent 100 lines are shown by default; click the ‘Show all’ button to see the entire log. The audit trail is a plain text file which can be downloaded if required using the Download button. The log records all significant events and changes to the data including:

  • Data entry and editing of forms
  • Creation and adding messages to queries
  • Creation and editing of sites
  • Randomisations
  • Movement of blocks within code lists
  • Unblinding
  • Downloads from the system such as reports in CSV format, CRF data, code list and the audit trail itself

The audit trail

An example extract from a log is shown below. The items shown in each row of the log are (from left to right):

  • IP address of the user who initiated the event
  • Name and user ID of the user
  • URL
  • Server date and time (including GMT offset)
  • Notice level - usually this will be “INFO (6)”
  • Message

Where applicable, the message contains information on the data before and after the event. Some events might generate several related messages - such as an explanatory note

"Edited form Eligibility Criteria Check At Recruitment for Patient SDN01"

plus a change in the data:

"Row in crfBaselineEligibilityCriteria for: {"id" : "1"}, changed From: {"updated" : "2015-10-22 17:45:47","reasonForEdit":null ..."
