Benefits
- Seamlessly track the lifecycle of PLM objects such as documents, requirements, and parts with Audit Trails
- Easily bundle regulatory-relevant documents
- Improve maintenance, servicing, and operations of products with lifecycle files
Seamlessly track the lifecycle of PLM objects
In industries such as medical technology, automotive, or food, the seamless traceability of the product development process is essential. CONTACT Elements Audit Trail & Change ensures this: As soon as a new PLM object (documents, requirements, workflows, parts) is created, all edits, status changes, and metadata modifications are automatically logged. This generates a comprehensive audit trail, documenting all events in the PLM object lifecycle with date, time, and user. All changes are fully traceable.

Easily bundle regulatory-relevant documents
Product approvals often require the submission of thousands of documents to authorities. CONTACT Elements makes this convenient and efficient: Beyond the automatic logging of individual documents by the Audit Trail, you can bundle all necessary documents in rule-based digital folders – for example, for specific products, authorities, or test series. These folders serve as universal containers for any type of document. Updates are automatically applied when new versions are available. Each folder also has its own lifecycle and Audit Trail. This way, not only the content but also the development of the folder itself is documented as a complete lifecycle file.
