What is and How to Access the Audit Trail

Every event and action that affects a study in Cimar will be logged by the system. These logs can be accessed and audited by clicking the Audit Trail button in the work list.

An audit trail will show many types of events, the time they occurred and who caused them. The most recent event is shown at the top. The bottom of the audit trail provides the storage information about the study you are viewing. Please provide this to Cimar when making any technical support queries about a particular study
