Migrating Audit Trails

Last updated: Mar 6, 2026

Audit Trail Options

One Audit Trail File Per Document

If you are able to export audit trails from your legacy system on a per-document basis, Veeva will migrate each audit trail as an attachment to its corresponding document. Add the audit trail file path for each document in the migration template.

If you prefer not to attach audit trails to individual documents, see Audit Trails for All Documents in One File below.

Audit Trails for All Documents in One File

If your legacy system does not support per-document audit trail export, or if you prefer not to attach audit trails to individual documents during migration, create a single document in your Quality Vault to store your audit trail.

Do not attach a full system audit trail (which contains audit history across all documents) to individual documents in the migration template.

Veeva recommends using a Document Type of Executed Record with Category set to Quality.
