Is there a way to use the @Modified to get WHO modified the document and on what date?
Subject: @Modified by??
You can get WHO (from the $UpdatedBy field) and WHEN ($Revisions), but except for the very latest modification, there’s no reliable way to match the who with the when.
Subject: @Modified by??
you need to code it in your form. $Revisions and $UpdatedBy store this info as separate entries but be aware that they don’t always match. If the doc is saved 3 times in a row by “Ralph”, Ralph will appear only once in $UpdatedBy but you will see 3 revision dates in the $Revisions field. So if you are using subset to locate the matching entry in one field to another they may not always match. But the first and last entry in each list should match up.

Ok, thank you. I’ll see what I can come up with.

If you head over to the 4/5 forum, there is still a link to the FAQs. The FAQ of FAQs has a number of links to audit trail systems.
If you just need to know the editor list, that’s pretty simple. If you need to know who did what, you’ll want a full blown audit trail system. I use one originally built by James (Jimmy) Ray - the FAQ has a link to the article. He’s updated the code to a class driven design. Jimmy’s published recently in The VIEW so you can email him for the ‘new’ version if you like. He’s glad to share.
