Audit Trail
The audit trail is an integral feature of Metastorm BPM. Every single activity is recorded including the user, time and action performed. The time of entry into each stage is also recorded to allow metrics to be produced easily.

The version of the system that was deployed at the time of the action is also recorded. This allows an auditor to easily determine exactly what happened at any one time if necessary.
We often go several steps further. For example we can record the state of each variable before and after an action and list of the ones changed. When we process complex business rules, we can also export a description of the decisions made, including the data used for the decision and the results of any calculation, to a text field. This gives us a great advantage during testing, training and auditing, as every single decision is fully and clearly documented.
