Select the record or table name that you want the system to audit. Then select the Change check box next to the actions for which you want the system to generate and maintain audit records. PeopleSoft CRM delivers this page with the Change check box selected for all the records and table names that are listed.
If you select the Add check box, and a row is added to the table, then the system generates an audit record and it is included in the audit report. The same is true for the Change and Delete check boxes.
Selecting the Change check box causes the system to generate audit records for everything except adds. Selecting the Delete check box would only generate audits for actions that were deleted.
Note: Selecting both the Delete and Change check boxes would be redundant and is not recommended.
Use the Impact page (RG_UD_REQ_IMPACT) to set up change request impact values.
Navigation

Select the Hierarchical check box to identify the relationship type as being either the parent or the child to the other relationship type (not an equal relationship type).
When you are recording a related change request, the system prompts you for a relationship type. When you select the 1st relationship type and the hierarchical check box is selected, then the hierarchical check box must be selected for the 2nd relationship type. The system also enforces the converse.
You access this page by clicking the Add Related Change button on the Change Request - Related Changes page.

![Status Transition page](img/i-42c12a96n-75b7.png)
Use this page to build rules to automatically change the status of a change request when certain conditions are met or initiate other events when certain conditions are true.
Select a value from the Status From drop-down list box to indicate the initial status of the change request. Select a value from the Status To drop-down list box that you want the system to use when a certain condition is met or initiate a certain action when a user changes the status.
Click the Edit Condition link to select the terms that you want the system to use to change the status of the change request or alter the fields on the change request.
When you click the Select Term link on the Edit Condition page, use only the terms that appear under the Change Request folder.
Note: When the transition condition is true, the system triggers AAF actions. For example, when the status of the change request changes from New to Approved and the Priority is Emergency, then this transition condition will be true and AAF will initiate an action when the change request is saved. The system checks all status transitions at save time to determine if they are true and sets off any AAF actions that are associated with the new condition.
Use the Sub Type page (RG_UD_REQ_SUB_TYPE) to set up change request subtypes.
