You must have the privilege to access the audit trial at the Enterprise or property level. When an Audit Trail report is taken, the activity is logged to the Audit Trail. All Audit Trail Reports taken are logged as an Enterprise level activity. You can use the Audit Trail two different ways: to view the history of a specific record or to perform a general search throughout the entire system.
When you perform a quick search, the application ignores the values in the standard search fields.
Table 44-1 Audit Trail Standard Search Fields
Field | Description |
---|---|
Application |
Select an application from the drop-down list. Depending on your selection, the Module drop-down list is active or dimmed. For example, when you select EMC, the Module drop-down list shows a list of EMC modules. |
Module |
Select a module from the drop-down list. This field is active only when the Application selection allows a choice of modules. Depending on your selection, the Object Numbers field is active or dimmed. For example, when you select EMC from the Application drop-down list and Discounts from the Module drop-down list, the Object Numbers field becomes active. |
(Optional) Object Numbers |
Enter an object number or range to retrieve results based on specific records only. Leave this field blank to have the Audit Trail find all object numbers. |
Operation |
Select an operation from the drop-down list. This field is active based on a combination of the Application and Module selections. |
Zone/Location |
Select a zone or location. When you open the Audit Trail from the Enterprise level, this field allows a selection of any property, zone, or revenue centers. When you open the Audit Trail from the property level, this field allows a selection of revenue centers within the property. |
Employee |
Click the Select link, select an employee, and then click OK. When you select a specific employee, only changes made by that employee are included in the results. Click the Me link to include only the logged-in employee. |
Date Range |
Select the date range to use to query the Audit Trail. Select User-Defined to activate the Start and End fields. |
(Optional) Start and End |
To narrow your query to a specific date or date range, select the start and end dates and times. Select All Dates to include all dates in the query. |
(Optional) Old/New Values |
Enter text for use in the query. This can be useful in finding a specific change to a record, such as when a Hamburger item was renamed to Cheeseburger. |
Preserve Previous Results |
Select this option to merge the search results with the previous search results, instead of overwriting them. Deselect this option to see only the results of the most recent search. |
The Purge tab is visible only at the Enterprise level, and you must have the Purge Audit Trail privilege.
Records are deleted based on the UTC date of the Audit Trail record.
In addition to this manually initiated purge, the Data Transfer Service (DTS) purges Audit Trail records automatically.
