Audit Log
Every state-changing action, immutable
Every action — create, edit, sign, archive, transfer — captured with who, what, when, and the before-and-after state of the record.
Built for the way labs actually run
The audit log is the immutable record of every state-changing action in ResearchLab. Every create, edit, sign, archive, and transfer is captured with the actor (who), the action (what), the timestamp (when), and the before-and-after state of the record. Nothing is edited or deleted — the log is append-only.
Filter the log by actor, action type, record type, or time range. Export the filtered results in standard formats (CSV, JSON) for inspection on demand. Retention is configurable per plan — 90 days on Lab, 7 years on Department, custom on University. The audit log is the backbone of compliance and the source of truth for any investigation.
