Start Auditing:
Enabling Start Auditing is the primary step to activate auditing for Dynamics 365. This setting ensures that changes to data, including field updates on records, are tracked and logged.
Without enabling this checkbox, no data changes will be recorded, as it is the fundamental requirement for auditing across all entities and fields.
[Reference: Microsoft Documentation - Enable and Configure Auditing in Dynamics 365, Audit User Access:, The Audit User Access checkbox ensures that user activities related to accessing records are tracked. This is essential for identifying when specific users accessed records, which could correlate with field changes observed., Enabling this option provides insights into who accessed which records and when, which is useful in understanding user behavior and any unusual access patterns., Reference: Microsoft Documentation - Configure User Access Auditing, Additional Steps for Table-specific Auditing (if needed):, After enabling auditing at the system level, specific tables (entities) need to have auditing enabled if they are not covered under common, sales, marketing, or customer service entities., Go to Settings > Customizations > Customize the System, select the custom table, and ensure that Auditing is enabled on the desired fields within the table., By enabling both Start Auditing and Audit User Access, you ensure that both data changes and access patterns are recorded, providing a comprehensive audit trail for monitoring and troubleshooting field changes on records., , ]
