# Audit selected fields in the vulnerable items table

Enable auditing for fields you specify in the Vulnerable Item \[sn\_vul\_vulnerable\_item\] table. This method of auditing is useful when you want to audit fields that you cannot audit by default.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## About this task

The sn\_vul\_vulnerable\_item table is auditable by default. Fields that have the no\_audit attribute set to true are not auditable. For more information about auditing tables, see [Enable auditing for a table](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/platform-security/t_EnableAuditingForATable.md).

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Vulnerability Response** > **System Definition** > **Tables** and search for the sn\_vul\_vulnerable\_item table.

    The list of dictionary entries for the table is displayed.

2.  To enable auditing for a field, click the name of the entry.

    The Dictionary Entry page for that entry is displayed.
