Enable or disable auditing for fields

Can I do this task?

By default, when you enable auditing for an entity, auditing is also enabled on all its fields. You can select or clear fields for which you want to enable auditing.

1. In the Navigation Pane, click Settings. Then under System, click Auditing.
2. In the Audit area, click Entity and Field Audit Settings.
3. Under Components, expand Entities.
4. Expand the entity that has the fields for which you want to start or stop auditing, and click Fields.
5. In the field list, to start or stop auditing for a single field, open the field, and in the Auditing field, click Enabled or Disabled, respectively.

   - OR -

   To start or stop auditing for more than one field, select all the fields to be started or stopped. On the Actions toolbar, click Edit. Then in the Edit Multiple Fields dialog box, in Auditing, click Enabled or Disabled, respectively.

6. Click Save.
7. Click Publish All Customizations.

Notes

• Before you enable field auditing, you must first enable auditing for the organization.
• Field auditing only tracks value changes to the field. Field auditing does not track enabling or disabling Field Level Security for the field.
• Not all fields can be audited in Microsoft Dynamics CRM. To know the fields on which you can enable auditing:
  1. In the Navigation Pane, click Settings.
  2. Under Customization, click Customizations.
  3. In the Customization area, click Customize the System.
  4. Under Components, expand Entities, and then expand the entity you want.
  5. Click Fields.
  6. For each field, see the value in the Audit Status column. Auditing cannot be enabled on any field that has Non Applicable in the Audit Status column.
