Today's Setup Audit Trail is useful for knowing when your setup has been changed and what area the change was in.
I'd like to see more details included in the audit file to ease the burden of documenting changes when you move from dev to production.
Today's audit trail includes Date/Time, User, Action, and Section. If you could augment that with the actual object modified in the Section field, it would ease the sorting of records.
Today, I have a custom object called Change Log and I import each audit trail entry as a unique "Event" record in the change log. It makes reporting and auditing much easier as well as keeping a history longer than the audit trail available online. It would be nice to have a field that I could then sort on by object so I could, for example, audit all changes to the Cases object from one date to another date. That would make the move from dev to production a somewhat eaiser process.

We noticed that the data for a few of our custom objects changes and want to find out exactly who made the last modification to a custom object, as well as the date. Definitely more granular audit trails would be appreciated! |

We are currently looking into how we can enhance the setup audit trail to enable better logging and sorting of information. Thanks for the idea and comments! Keep them coming!! |
