Record Timeline

Every compliance record in Inori maintains a complete chronological timeline of events. The timeline serves as your audit trail and gives full visibility into a record's history.

Accessing the Timeline

1. Open any record from the Records page or from a project's Vendors tab.
2. Click the Timeline tab on the record detail page.

Events are displayed in reverse chronological order (newest first).

Event Types

The timeline captures the following event types:

State Changes

Every transition between compliance states is logged, including:

• Previous state and new state
• Whether the transition was automatic (triggered by the system) or manual (performed by a user)
• The reason, if one was provided
• The user who performed the action, or "System" for automatic transitions

Certificate Events

• Certificate uploaded — Who uploaded it and the file name.
• AI analysis completed — Summary of the analysis result (pass, fail, or flagged items).
• Certificate replaced — When a new certificate supersedes a previous one.

Notification Events

• Compliance request sent to vendor
• Expiration reminder sent
• Non-compliance notification sent

Assignment Changes

• Record assigned or reassigned to a team member.

Using the Timeline for Audits

The timeline is designed for audit readiness. Each entry includes:

• Timestamp with full date and time.
• Actor — The specific user or "System."
• Details — A human-readable description of what changed.

Retention

Timeline data is retained for the lifetime of the record, including archived records. No timeline events are ever deleted.
