Features · Audit

Written for the reviewer who arrives in three years.

An audit trail is only worth what it cannot do: it cannot be edited, cannot be selectively deleted, and cannot have gaps that need explaining. ClientCentric's history is append-only — events are added, never changed.

What the audit history records: who opened which record and when; every assignment made or ended; every case-note transition — submitted, returned, approved, locked, corrected; timesheet approvals with who approved whose hours; document access and disclosure; configuration changes; and every export, which is itself an audited event. It is append-only by construction and exportable for a review.

The questions it answers without archaeology

  • Who could see this client's record last March — and what made that true?
  • When was this note approved, by whom, and what did the original say before the correction?
  • Who exported this report, and when?
  • When did this staff member's access to this client end?
  • What changed in the agency's configuration, and who changed it?
ClientCentric audit history: a table of recorded events with actor, action, record, and timestamp

Events, not stories. Each row is an action that happened, attributed and timestamped — the raw material a review is made of.

Why append-only matters more than 'has an audit log'

Many systems have a log. The question a reviewer actually asks is whether the log could have been cleaned up afterward. Append-only means the answer is structurally no: a correction adds a new event alongside the old one; a locked note’s original text survives its own addendum; and the migration that brought your history in wrote its own trail the same way.
