Major updates in this release

Improvements to the Audit Log display

This release provides refinements to the audit log entries to remove redundant details being displayed. This primarily improves the audit log entry when a new business is created via a lookup from a business register.

Previously, in addition to the entries being logged recording new businesses, individuals, and relationships created, there were also entries recording the creation of specific data items associated with a business or sub-business. This was inconsistent (since the creation of certain data items were being displayed but not others), and caused unnecessarily long audit log entries for the creation of a business.

As a result of this change, the following 'data creation' entries will no longer appear in the audit logs:

• 'A new address was created',
• 'A new entity name was created',
• 'A new trading name was created',
• 'A new business number was created'

There will still be 'data creation' entries for businesses, individuals and relationships.Below are 'before' and 'after' examples of the audit log entry created when a business is created from a business register search :

It should be noted that these changes will be applied to the display of audit logs for both pre-existing and new businesses.

Additional Minor Change to Audit Logs

Another minor change within the audit log display when a business is created via a register search, is the inclusion of a 'search depth threshold' and a 'ownership percentage threshold' following the name of the register. These have been introduced to support future functionality which will allow customers to restrict the extent of automated searches performed. At present, these will always state 'unrestricted'. (See screenshots in the section above for an example - note the entry by the green magnifying class)
