This post is part of a series on creating a simple audit for Microsoft Dynamics GP.
Once the audit table and triggers have been deployed, any changes made through the audit will be recorded and available for reviewing later to see who has been making changes and, more significantly, what was changed.
The easiest way of making this available to the client was to create a SmartList for them using SmartList Designer to select data from the new custom audit table. SmartList Designer can see either Dexterity tables or SQL views, but not custom SQL tables, I created a SQL view on the custom audit table, joining it to the Users Master (SY01400) table in the DYNAMICS table to get the username:
