History of changes (tracking system)
In BioloMICS, every change made at the table, field or record level is recorded and administrators and super-administrators can search for changes and undo them, if needed.
It's therefore always possible to track what was changed, when and by whom.
To be able to view, search and modify changes, one needs to belong to the administrators group.
