Audit Trail enables you to track activities performed in a Laserfiche repository and Laserfiche Forms. The tracked information is stored in log files that Audit Trail uses to generate reports. Combined with other aspects of the Laserfiche system, auditing not only helps to show compliance with legal regulations, but also contributes to the security of the Laserfiche repository and Laserfiche Forms
The features and capabilities of Audit Trail
for repositories depend on which of the 
three editions you have installed.
three editions you have installed.
- Starter edition is geared towards basic regulatory compliance for tracking the modification of data stored in the repository.
- Standard edition includes all the features of the Starter edition, and also has the ability to log more events, provide more flexibility in determining how events are logged, and log unsuccessful attempts to perform actions.
- Advanced edition includes all the features of the Standard edition and also allows you to log security changes and the searches that are performed on a repository. An additional advantage of the Advanced edition is that it allows the tracking of why users performed certain actions. Finally, the Advanced edition supports watermarks, which is another form of client-side auditing. Watermarks require that a user select a watermark that will be imprinted on each page printed from Laserfiche. Client-side auditing helps your organization keep track of why a user performed a particular action.
Note: To audit in Laserfiche Forms, you must have a Forms Professional license.
Note: To audit a Laserfiche repository, one of the Laserfiche auditing editions must be purchased in addition to the Laserfiche Server.
