AUDIT TRAIL - Privacy - GPDR
START PROCESS (secondary) :- option on all menu types and operations
In terms of privacy laws, GPDR in particular, detailed audit trails must be available at all times.
Using IF NEW, WAS CHANGED and GET CHANGES lets a developer create an audit object to facilitate this to a certain degree, however, the one area which becomes difficult is how do you record “VIEW” events from the menu bar or operation menu. ?
The only way to do this is to embed an Audit rule process into every one of your menu and operation items. This becomes a huge task and does become very cumbersome. (Almost all the menu types become a process)
If we had option on every menu type and operation type, to start a process after or before an item is clicked, we could very easily hook into an Audit object and record the event. Also it would be a very simple and a neat way of handling an audit trail
This concept is already featured in some areas, like clicking on a tab and after a form is saved etc. So would it be too difficult to extend the feature throughout? Please !!!
If this feature was implemented it would be great if the secondary process could capture the object in context and also the menu/operation item description for enhanced record creation and also an option to run Before or After the click
