Enabling/Disabling Audit Trail for Objects

Overview

CQ’s Field Audit Trail powered by Salesforce allows for administrators to maintain a comprehensive historical record of field changes and to ensure data integrity and compliance with industry standards.

Field Tracking can be setup by administrators for each CQ object as well as custom objects. Field Audit Trail Objects are enabled off the shelf for the main CQ Records associated with QualityQuest for CQ Life sciences Customers.

Enabled objects highlighted in red require attention because they have more than 60 fields being tracked. This exceeds the limit for customers who do not have CQ’s 21 CFR Part 11 package. Customers with the package can track up to 100 fields per object.
