Easily set up and search the Change Log

The IT Admin Toolkit has several Change Log improvements to make it easier to set up and search the change log.

Easily search the change log

Traditionally, searching the Change Log table can be tricky and resource heavy. We've added easy shortcuts to view related Change Log entries directly from the Customer, Vendor, and Item Cards.

1. From a Customer, Vendor, or Item Card, click Navigate
2. Select Change Log

A list of change log entries will be displayed showing and modifications to the entry.

You will be able to trace:

• Which user made the change.
• The date and time the change was made.
• The old value and the new value.

For this to functionality to work, the Customer, Vendor and Item tables must be enabled in the Change Log. This can easily be achieved by running Initialise function in the Change Log Setup page.

Initialise the Change Log Setup

The Change Log is an essential audit tool; however, it is rarely setup during the implementation.

The IT Admin Toolkit automatically initialises the Change Log Setup with the common tables and fields that should be logged. These are typically setup tables and master data tables like the Customer, Vendor, and Item tables.

How to Setup the Fenwick Gold Change Log defaults

1. Search for and open the Change Log Setup page.
2. Navigate to the Setup > Tables page.
3. Run the Initialise Defaults function. 

Where can I access the Change Log from?

You can access the change log from a variety of places throughout Business Central. You can open the page directly via the search bar or through the navigate tab on a select few of pages.

Accessing the page directly will open the page with no filters, showing all entries.
