Audit Trail

The WiseCost Audit Trail is an immutable log of every change, with old and new values, filters by date, user, entity and action, and a CSV export.

The Audit Trail in WiseCost is an immutable record of every change in your company, with the old value and the new value of each one. Open Audit Trail in the sidebar, filter by date, user, entity or action, and click Export CSV to hand it to an auditor. Nothing in it can be edited or deleted.

Who can do this: an Administrator.

What it records

• Time entries: created, edited, deleted, and who keyed them, including entries made on someone's behalf.
• Timesheets: submissions, approvals, rejections and reopenings.
• Labor Distribution: posted entries and reopened periods.
• Settings: every change in Company Setup → Company settings → Compliance, with its old and new value.
• API keys: created and revoked.

Find a change

1. Open Audit Trail in the sidebar. It is its own page, at the same level as Reports and Company Setup.
2. Filter by date range, user, entity or action.
3. Read the Old value and New value columns of the row.

Export it

Click Export CSV to download the filtered records.

Why it matters

An auditor does not only ask what your records say. They ask whether someone could have changed them quietly. With an immutable trail, every correction is visible: who changed what, when, and what it said before. That applies to a DCAA floor check and to the internal controls the Uniform Guidance expects behind time and effort records.

Common questions

Can an admin delete or edit an Audit Trail record?

No. The Audit Trail is immutable for everyone.

Where did the Audit Trail go? It used to be under Company Setup.

It is now its own item in the sidebar, Audit Trail.

Can I see who changed a compliance setting?

Yes. Every change on the Compliance tab is recorded with the user, the old value and the new value.
