Exporting Audit Trail Reports Legacy (pre - 12.17.2)
Sometimes audit data backup needs to be taken for future use before flushing out or just to keep a record. Export to Excel is always a convenient process of taking a backup of any data. The process is performed through the Export module of Audit Trail. This article describes the process of export in Audit Trail.
Note: Every time you export, a db(.db5) file is created in the Ginesys Web Application server and you can locally download a copy and browse it. Browsing the Audit Trail can be done through DB Browser for SQLite.
