Audit trails and administration duties

What the platform records, and the checks a responsible administrator runs.

45 min

What is recorded

  • Asset change history — every create, update and delete, with the user, the time and the field-level changes
  • Geometry audit — every spatial change, with the geometry before and after
  • Import batches — every bulk upload, with its file, mapping, row counts and per-row results

An audit trail is only useful if it is complete. Never correct data by editing the database around the platform; make the change in the application, where it will be recorded.

Routine administration

  • Review who holds the admin role
  • Review the import batches that landed, especially any with warnings or review rows
  • Check for duplicate asset IDs and assets missing geometry
  • Confirm that deleted assets were genuinely decommissioned rather than lost
  • Keep the project's spatial reference and classification data current
