Data integrity plays a critical role in every aspect of therapeutic development from ensuring experimental reproducibility to thoroughly documenting intellectual property positions. Within CDD Vault's ELN, users are able to leverage both a robust audit trail as well as compare and even restore previous versions of ELN entries.
To access the audit trail and ELN versioning, find the audit trail button on the top right corner of an ELN entry page.
Once selected, a new window will popup listing all of the different versions of the ELN entry along with the date, author, and the action performed to modify that entry. Modifications to attachments, such as editing an embedded Word or PowerPoint document, will even be recorded as exemplified in row 6 below. Additionally, all components of the witnessing and finalization chain of custody will be recorded as exemplified in rows 1-4.
To compare two different ELN versions side-by-side, simply toggle the check box next to each version number.
In order to revert to a previous version, simply click on the restore button either within the comparison view window or on the audit trail index page.
If a previous version has been restored, this will be noted once again in the audit trail. In the example below, row 1 shows the current version of v.93 which is a restoration of v.91.
