Adding an Element for Auditing in an Audit Event Type

Prerequisites

To add an element for auditing in an audit event type, you should have:

  • Required elements defined in the entity business object schema

  • Required statuses defined in the lifecycle of the entity business object

  • Required characteristic types defined in the application (where the characteristic entity is set to the respective entity)

Procedure

To add an element for auditing in an audit event type:

  1. Ensure that the Audit Elements for Entity Update section is expanded when you are defining, editing, or copying an audit event type.

    The Audit Elements for Entity Update section contains the following fields in a grid:

    Field Name Field Description Mandatory (Yes or No)
    Element Type Used to indicate the type of element. The valid values are:

    • Business Object Status

    • Characteristic

    • Field

    		 Yes (Conditional)
    Note: This field is required when you want to create an audit event whenever the specified element is updated.
    Element Name Used to specify the element which you want to monitor while updating the entity. The following table lists the elements which you must select for the respective element type:
    Element Type Element Name
    Business Object Status boStatus
    Characteristic characteristics/characteristicsList/characteristicType
    Field Any field from the entity business object schema
    Note:

    Here, you must not specify a element whose type is set to group or list.

    If the element is a part of a group or list, the system displays the element name along with the element group and/or list. For example, if you select the policyPerRole element of the C1-ASOPolicy business object, the system displays the policyPersons/policyPerRole in the Element Name field. Here, the policyPersons is the element list.
    		Yes (Conditional)
    Note: This field is required when you want to create an audit event whenever the specified element is updated.
    Note:

    The Search (The Search Icon) icon appears corresponding to the Element Name field. On clicking the Search icon, the Schema window appears.

    The Schema window does not appear when the entity business object is not specified in the Main section.
    Element Value Used to specify the element value depending on the element type. The following table lists the element value that you must specify depending on the element type:
    Element Type Element Value
    Business Object Status Used to indicate the status of the entity business object which you want to monitor for auditing. The system then creates an audit event whenever the entity is transitioned to the specified status.
    Characteristic Used to indicate the characteristic type which you want to monitor for auditing. Here, you must specify a characteristic type where the characteristic entity is set to the respective entity. The system then creates an audit event whenever the specified characteristic is defined, edited, or removed from the entity.
    Note: The Search (The Search Icon) icon appears corresponding to the Element Value field. On clicking the Search icon, the Characteristic Type Search window appears.
    Note: This field does not appear when the Field option is selected from the Element Type list.
    		 Yes (Conditional)
    Note: This field is required when you want to create an audit event whenever the specified element is updated.
    Note: The Audit Elements for Entity Update section is enabled when the Update All option is not selected in the Main section.
  2. Enter the required details in the Audit Elements for Entity Update section.
  3. If you want to add more than one element for auditing in the audit event type, click the Add (The Add Icon) icon and then repeat step 2.
    Note: However, if you want to remove an element from the audit event type, click the Delete (The Delete Icon) icon corresponding to the element.
