• You need edit permission for the data table to create the field.

2. Check the automatic Last Modified By result

Entry: Review the corresponding column in a table that already contains the field

1. Make sure the data table already includes a Last Modified By field.
2. Edit any record and save the change.
3. Return to that record row and check the Last Modified By field.
4. Confirm which user most recently edited the record.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: the Last Modified By field for that record shows the latest editor information.
• What you can do next: you can continue filtering, reviewing, or comparing editors across records.

Tips While Using

• Simply opening or viewing a record usually does not update Last Modified By.
• The field updates after an actual edit is made and saved.

3. Tell Last Modified By apart from Created By

Entry: Compare system field results in the data table

1. Review the Created By and Last Modified By related fields in the data table.
2. Find a record that has been edited by more than one person.
3. Compare the user who created the record with the user who edited it most recently.
4. Use the difference to identify the original source and the latest maintainer of the record.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: you can clearly distinguish the original creator from the latest editor.
• What you can do next: use the result for accountability checks, collaboration follow-up, or review work.

Tips While Using

• Created By and Last Modified By may show the same person or different people.
• Last Modified By is for tracking the latest editor, not for permission control.
