Auditing Annotations

Information about annotations, such as creation date and date last modified, are necessary for general auditing and compliance reporting. Annotation information is logged on the Financial Reporting server for annotations associated with Financial Reporting reports in the file AnnotationAudit.log. For each annotation, this file contains:

  • Action taken: annotation created, replied to, or deleted

  • Annotation title

  • Data source associated with the annotation

  • Annotation context

  • User ID of the user who added, changed, or deleted the annotation

  • Time and date the annotation was created, modified, or deleted

  • Name and path of the report associated with the annotation

  • Object type associated with the annotation (grid, chart, image, text box)

Note:

Annotation permission changes are not logged.
