• The P&M audit log module – via a managed solution, adds a custom entity into CRM which stores all data changes which happen as a result of updates to the master record from any duplicate record
• Over and above the standard Dynamic 365 CE (CRM) Audit Module, our P&M Audit Log Module provides the ability to:
  • Identify from which record any “New Value” was taken from
  • Link directly from the log to the record from where the “New Value” was sourced
  • See all duplicate loser values compared to the Winners “New Value”) and link directly to any respective losers’ record detail page
• Improve trust and know which data field values have been changed, when and by whom
• Increase visibility and see all data changes old to new values within the audit log
• Enable hyperlinks from within the audit log directly to the winning record or the losing record

NOTE: This is an additional module and will not come standard with the Foundation or Master Record Merge (MRM) Modules.

Example:

If you perform the 'Auto Fill' feature from DQ for Dynamics to update the Master attributes with the Best Values, the out-of-box CRM Audit History will show you:

For the same records, the DQ for Dynamics Audit Log will show:

The DQ for Dynamics Audit Log gives you additional record information, this enables you to:

• Identify where the Winning values came from
• Identify which values were discarded in favour of the winning value
