When using the external storage location, files that have been deleted by users can still be retrieved from backups by the Administrator. The delete audit trail provides the Administrator with the file system location and file name of the deleted file. The Audit Trail Settings page is used to set the number of days the audit trail will be available. Once this amount of time has passed, the audit trail for the deleted file will no longer be available. This small log is stored in the database; the lifetime may be set fairly high without affecting system performance.
Follow these steps to open the Audit Trial Settings page.
Open the Administrator Panel.
Select Technical Settings under Content System. The Technical Settings page will appear.
Click Document Stores. The Manage Document Store page will open.
Select Manage next to one of the directories.
Select Deletion Audit Trail Settings.
Enter the number of days the audit trail will exist after a file is deleted. If zero is entered the audit trail will never be stored.
