Audit Reports

Audit Overview
One audit log record is maintained for each change made within the software. The audit log contains the following information:
Computer Date and Time – the computer's time when the change was made.
Database Date and Time – the time on the database server when the audit record was added.
User Identifier – the unique identifier of the user that created the audit entry. If the system created the audit entry then this value is 0.
Computer Name – the name of the computer that the software is running on.
Computer Login Name – the current login on the computer.
Employee Identifier – as the majority of changes are for an employee, we maintain the unique identifier of the employee in each audit entry.
Object – a textual description of the Object that was added, edited, or modified. In most cases, this represents the table name in the database.
Object Identifier – the unique identifier of the Object. In most cases, this represents the key of the table record.
Method – in most cases, this represents the name of the column in the table. Two special methods are New and Deleted (note - most deletes are soft deletes so that that the audit log can provide information on deleted objects).
Previous Value – the value (if any) of the Method for the Object before it was changed.
Current Value – the value that the Method of the Object was changed to.
The audit reports display the auditing records in a friendly and understandable format. For example, they show the employee name rather than the employee identifier. The reports are still of a technical nature so, if you are trying to resolve some issue regarding identifying who and when a change was made within the software, then you may need to contact technical support to correctly identify where the responsibility for a change lies.
