The audit trail is a detailed log that records every change or action made to financial or accounting data within the system. It is designed to track each transaction, who made the change, when it happened, and what was modified.
It is used to ensure transparency, protect against errors or tampering, and meet legal and tax compliance requirements.
How to View and Understand the Audit Trail in Wafeq?
To access the audit trail, click on “Reports” from the main menu, then select “Audit Trail” under the “For Accountant” section.
The audit trail shows all changes made to transactions, including:
The user who performed the action
The contact involved (client or supplier)
The source of the transaction
The affected account
Next to each transaction, you'll see the type of change, indicated by the following icons:

Controlling the Display of Report Columns
Wafeq allows you to customize how columns are displayed in the Audit trail report, whether by showing or hiding specific columns, or rearranging them based on your needs.
This helps you focus on the most important information when reviewing system changes, such as the user, action type, date, or modification details.
At the top of the report table, click the “Edit Columns” ⚙️ button.
A panel will appear containing:
All available columns in the report
Toggle switches to show or hide columns
The ability to reorder columns by dragging
You can easily control column visibility:
To show a column → Turn on the toggle next to it
To hide a column → Turn off the toggle next to it
To reorder columns:
Click and hold the drag icon (⋮⋮) next to the column name
Drag the column up or down to your desired position
Release it in the new location
The column order will update immediately in the report.
Freezing Columns
At the top of the settings panel, you will find a section called:
Frozen Columns
What does freezing a column mean?
When a column is frozen, it remains visible at the beginning of the table even when scrolling horizontally. It does not move with the other columns.
This is especially useful when reviewing the audit log, particularly if the report contains many columns or detailed information for each action.
How to freeze a column:
Drag the column you want to freeze into the “Frozen Columns” section at the top.
If you want to return to the default layout:
Click “Reset.”
The report will return to its original column arrangement.
You can also share your feedback about the column visibility feature by clicking “Share your feedback here.”

Customize Columns: Show or hide columns based on the type of information you want to focus on.
Sort: Sort transactions in ascending or descending order by date, journal number, or any other column.
