Audit Fields

Rowy provides Audit Fields to track the changes made to your data. This is useful for collaborating with your team and keeping track of who made what changes and when. The Audit Fields help track the details of the changes made to your data by recording the following information:

  • Created By - The user who created the record
  • Created At - The date and time when the record was created
  • Updated By - The user who last updated the record
  • Updated At - The date and time when the record was last updated
