Logging

FCS Express has a comprehensive logging system (Audit Trails) that allows you to track every change made to any layout. Every time an action is performed in FCS Express, no matter what it is, the change is recorded. In the Layout History Viewer, a brief description is provided for every action along with detailed information: the action, the user completing the action, timestamp for occurrence, and precise details associated with the action.

Audit trails can be important for ensuring the integrity of your data analysis and for conforming to various governmental regulations, such as 21 CFR Part 11.

Accessing Audit Trails

You can view a layout's history and print it from the Layout History Viewer, which is accessible by clicking File tab > Info > View Layout History button (outlined in red below).

Viewing Audit Trail Details

Once the Layout History Viewer is opened, you can see a list of all of the changes ever made to that layout. For example, in the image below, you can see that a user has moved a gate, currently named "Monos", to the new coordinates listed.

All the actions are captured with detailed information - for example, in the image above, the "Default" user deleted an object, which was reversed with Undo, moved a plot, adjusted gates, added a new page, and changed the zoom of the layout. The Gate Move highlighted in blue has details related it to its repositioning - vertex locations before and after the moving along with movement of its associated text box.
