Field Audit Log Settings

> Objects > {object} > Field Audit Log Settings

When the Field Audit Log option is enabled, you list the fields to be audited. Changes to those fields are then added to each record's Activity History.

Users that have the Customize Objects permission can set the Field Audit Log.

Users that have the Manage Audit Log permission can view the Audit Log

When a field is modified, the following information is added to the activity history:

• Field label
• Original field value
• New field value
• Who changed it
• When it happened

Considerations

• Creation dates are not logged.
• An entry is added to the activity history for each audited field that changes. (If three fields change, three entries are added.)
• For the Cases Object and several other System Objects, all fields are audited, by default.
• For Custom Objects, field auditing is turned off, by default.
