Regulatory agencies or some of your customers may require that you keep track of any changes in your system. When you enable Audit trail tracking of changes, GainSeeker records the changes in your system, such as the name of the user making the change, the date/time of the change, and information about the data or settings changed.
You can then view these changes by viewing the audit trail.
You can enable audit trail tracking in the Configurations node and the System-wide settings node on the Configurations tab in the System Administration module:

This setting determines whether the System Administration module will log information to the audit trail when it is used to edit or delete users, roles, configurations, system-wide settings, and database connections
If you have enabled logging of changes to System Administration settings, you can also require the user to enter a note stating their reasons for making these changes, and include this note in the audit trail.
Select the checkbox to require users to enter a reason if they are logging changes to the System Administration settings.
Also see Audit Trail Record dialog below in this topic.
The Audit Trail Record dialog is used to log reasons for changes made to the System Administration module when the auditing feature is enabled. This dialog displays only after a user makes an actual change when the Require user to enter a reason if logging changes to System Administration settings checkbox is selected. The user enters notes (or the reason) for the change in the blank field.
The Apply this reason to all other changes checkbox 
in the bottom portion of the dialog can be used to automatically apply the same reason to all other changes that are made. This can be useful when you frequently need to apply a single reason to multiple changes. When the Audit Trail Record dialog reopens, GainSeeker applies your preference for this setting based on whether you selected this checkbox the last time the dialog was opened.
