What is the field-level audit trail?

The field-level audit trail is a record of edits to individual fields on positions and offers. It appears on a Field changes tab next to Activity log. Activity log shows events such as when a position was created. Field changes shows exactly which values changed.

Why it matters

• Find the cause of a data issue. When a field looks wrong, you can see when it changed and who changed it.
  
• Support compliance reviews. Each change keeps its before and after values.
  
• Know how a change was made. Each entry shows whether a person or an automated process made the change.

How it works

Open field changes on a position

1. Open the position and go to the Overview tab.
   
2. In Position activities, click View all. The Position activities panel opens on Activity log.
   
3. Select Field changes.

Open field changes on an offer

1. Open the offer and select the Offer Activities tab.

Read an entry

Each entry shows who made the change, what changed, and when. For example:

• "Alex Kim updated Status from Draft to Pending Approval"
  
• "Algorithms added to Skills"

When one save changes several fields, the entry groups them under one heading and lists each field below it. Click see more to expand a long entry.

See what changed in long text

For fields such as Job description, the entry shows only the start of the old and new text. Click view description to open a view that compares the two versions. The legend marks Added and Removed text. Click the back arrow to return to the list.

FAQs

Why don't I see changes from a few months ago? Field changes are recorded only from the date the feature was turned on for your account. Also check the date range, which starts at the last 30 days.

I just edited a field. Why isn't it listed yet? A change can take a few minutes to appear.

Why can't I see compensation changes on an offer? If your role on the offer's approval workflow hides compensation on the offer, field changes hide it too.
