# StoreConnect Audit Event Object Reference

## Overview

Defines the event types recorded in your Audit Log, and the Category, Severity and retention period applied to each.

| Property | Value |

| **API Name** | `s_c__StoreConnect_Audit_Event__mdt` |
| **Label** | StoreConnect Audit Event |

| **Type** | Custom Object |

## Fields

| Field Label | API Name | Type | Required | Description |
|-------------|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| Category | `s_c__Category__c` | Text(40) | Yes | Category grouping for this event type (e.g. AUTHENTICATION, PASSWORD, PAYMENTS, POS). Copied onto each audit log record and used by per-store category filtering. |
| Retention (Days) | `s_c__Retention_Days__c` | Number(6,0) | No | Default retention period, in days, for audit log records of this event type. Records older than this are deleted automatically, unless a store sets a longer retention period. |
