Audit Trail - Track Record Changes & Change Log
by Jhon Jairo Rojas Ortiz https://www.linkedin.com/in/jjroAudit Trail & Change Log, Free — Track Record Changes on Any Model
Know who changed what and when — full record history with old → new values. No code.
Keep a clear audit trail of every change in your Odoo. Define an audit rule for any model and the system records each create, update and delete — with the old and new value of each field, the user, and the exact date and time.
A searchable, filterable change log built for compliance, GDPR and internal control. Filter by operation, user, model or date to find any change — and prove who did what.
Every change logged with who, when, the operation and the old → new value of each field.
A searchable, filterable log of every tracked change across your models.
Features
- Audit any model — sales, contacts, invoices, products, settings, your custom models… anything you enable.
- Log create, update & delete — choose exactly which operations to track per model.
- Per-field change tracking — track all stored fields or limit it to specific fields.
- Who, when & what — every entry records the user, the date/time, the record and the operation.
- Old → new values — a line-by-line before/after for each changed field on updates.
- Searchable, filterable log — filter and group by operation, user, model or date.
- Compliance & accountability — a reliable record history for audits, GDPR and internal control.
- Safe by design — if logging ever fails it never blocks your normal business operations.
- No code — configure rules from the UI in seconds.
- Free — part of the free jjro toolkit and the front door to Aski.
How it works
- Go to Audit Trail > Rules and create an Audit Rule: pick a model, choose the operations to track (create / update / delete) and, optionally, the specific fields.
- From then on, every change is logged automatically — no further action needed.
- Review everything under Audit Trail > Logs: each log shows the user, date, operation, the record, and a line-by-line old → new value for updates.
Permissions & data security
Built to respect Odoo's access model — audited so nothing leaks between users or companies.
- 👤 Role-based access. The app respects Odoo's access groups — there is no portal or public exposure. Everything computes on your standard data through the app's own service, so no restricted field is ever surfaced.
- ✅ Secure by design — audited access model. Audited across the whole suite.
