Audit trail / Certificate of Fulfilment

In Circularo, each document has its own Audit Trail showing its complete processing history and displaying all actions in chronological order, including the when, what, and who information.

The Audit Trail is a useful tool for verifying each and every action done to the document and preventing any unwanted modifications.

When a document has been completed (processed successfully), the audit trail changes into the Certificate of Fulfilment, which provides additional info about the transaction that took place. 

Access the audit trail

  1. Find your document in the Documents section
  2. Click on the arrow to expand the context menu
  3. Select Audit trail from the menu

Alternatively, you can also access the audit trail from the context menu in Document preview.
