Ability to create audit trails

Candice_Yeudall

Morning Everyone,

So we where asked today if there is a way to audit who has done what within the program. The question was asked specifically towards asset management but I can see this for other areas as well.

I know that you can look at individual items and see the history logs but what about a report or similar? Having to manually go through 1000s of history logs does not appeal to me.

Thanks.

Candice,

If you fancy some PowerShell, you can use the SMLets cmdlet Get-SCSMObjectHistory which returns the full history of the object. With some formatting, this could output the previous 24 hours of changes in to CSV file for example. Loop through all the objects in the required class(es) and you might have something.

Happy to help develop this further if you are interested.

Is there something similar to this that would show ALL changes to work items in the past 24 hours? This would be extremely helpful for auditing QA testing vs going through each work item history log one by one.
