# Enable auditing for a system table

Deletions from tables with a sys\_ prefix are not audited by default. To track deletions from these tables, add the table name to the **glide.ui.audit\_deleted\_tables** property. Enabling the Restore Deleted Records plugin adds several default values to this property.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **System Properties** > **UI Properties**.

2.  Locate the **List of system tables \(beginning with "sys\_", comma separated\) that will have the delete audited** property.

3.  Add or remove table names. Table names should be separated by commas, without any spaces.

4.  Click **Save**.

    **Note:** For more information about auditing, see [Understanding the sys audit Table](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-security/c_UnderstandingTheSysAuditTable.md).
