# AuditEventType

Enumeration of change operation types in change history, used in audit summary objects, change detail objects, and query filters.

## Declaration

```data
string AuditEventType
```

## Possible Values

CREATE: The system creates a new entity. oldValues is empty on all associated field change objects. UPDATE: The system modifies one or more fields on an existing entity. Both oldValues and newValues are populated. DELETE: The system soft-deletes the entity. Because it implements deletion as a record update, newValues is populated. Expect fields such as the deleted flag, status, and transaction ID to appear with their updated values. oldValues reflects the pre-deletion state of each changed field.

## Discussion

Discussion Use AuditEventType values in the eventType filter of an AuditQuery request to narrow results to specific change operations: {   "field": "eventType",   "operator": "IN",   "value": [     "CREATE",     "DELETE"   ] }
