Audit log has been deprecated

Form administrators start to see the following message when using forms with built-in audit feature switched on

Image Added

Indeed, we have deprecated the audit log in ConfiForms Form macro, and there are couple of reasons why we have made this decision:

  • Scalability Scaleability problems on large and frequently updated datasets data-sets (forms)
  • No flexibility in how the audit log is constructed, configured and shown. 
  • No way to set up permissions on who can view the change log
  • Audit for deleted records is very weak and incomplete
  • Users we just checking this option without understanding fully what it provides and if it is necessary at all
  • Complexity in ConfiForms code base

...

  • Copy ConfiForms Data (remember to set up the filter on the dataset you want to copy - as id:[entry.id], as this action operates on the whole dataset by default)
  • Copy ConfiForms Data to DB (remember to set up the filter on the dataset you want to copy - as id:[entry.id], as this action operates on the whole dataset by default)
  • Create/Edit ConfiForms Entry (here you create, not edit)
