An audit trail tracks who did what to which record in your database. Using an
audit trail, you can record who created a record, when it was created, who last
modified it and when, and so forth. Audit trails are useful in applications
where it is important to track who has modified the data, such as in customer
service and order entry applications where money and flow-of-merchandise is
important.
The value of an audit trail also becomes apparent when you must debug how
certain data got into your database. Having the basic trace information of who
created it and when allows you to investigate the circumstances in which the
data was added or modified.
This customization implements an audit trail by creating and
modifying audit fields in a database record.
Note, that you can also add Formula in the Databases to the same field to implement most of audit trail tasks
This customization modifies the Data Access Layer such that every update for that table goes through this customization.
For a Web Application the customization will be added in:
..\<Application Name>\Business Layer\<Table Name>Record.cs
For example: C:\MyApp1\Business Layer\OrdersRecord.cs
For a Web Site the customization will be added in:
..\<Application Name>\App_Code\Business Layer\<Table Name>Record.cs
For example: C:\MyApp1\App_Code\Business Layer\OrdersRecord.cs
