Understand Audit History And Evidence
Use Janalix history and evidence views to understand what happened to a record and why.
Audit history is a core part of Janalix, not an afterthought. It helps teams answer who acted, when they acted, and how the record reached its current state.

What history helps you answer
Audit history helps teams answer who acted, when they acted, and how the record reached its current state. It is one of the main reasons Janalix can support governed HR workflows with confidence.
- Use history to understand sequence and ownership.
- Use evidence to verify what the system recorded at the time of the action.
- Use status changes and timestamps together, not in isolation.
How to use evidence well
Evidence is most useful when you review it in context. Look at the record state, actor, time, and workflow outcome together instead of focusing on a single event line.
When something looks unusual, compare the event with the workflow that came before and after it. That usually reveals whether the action was expected, blocked, corrected, or escalated.
Operational boundary
Audit and evidence views are for review and traceability. They should not be treated as a place to resume normal editing or bypass the governed workflow.
- Review evidence through the app's controlled surfaces.
- Prefer governed retrieval over detached exports when possible.
- Use the workflow views when the next step is operational action rather than historical review.
