Viewing an Audit Trail

Audit trails display the activity history of a work item, so you can determine how it reached its current status.

To view the audit trail of a work item:

Select a work item from the Work Items panel. The work item will appear in the Work Item Detail panel.
In the Work Item Detail panel, to view the audit trail, select the Audit Trail tab.

You will see a table with each activity the work item has gone through, the events recorded for it (for example, Completed or Instance created), the user and date for the event, and the copy number of the work item.

Note that some audit trail entries use the word instance instead of work item.

To view all the events for a given activity, you expand the activity by clicking on the expand button (). To see only the last event of the activity, click on the collapse button ().
