   Deleted users are denoted in the drop-down list with the (deleted) status appended to their usernames.

4. In the Start Date and End Date fields, specify a time period for which to include user activities, or before or after a specific date. Enter dates in the format MM/DD/YYYY, or click the Calendar icon to select dates.

   The User Activity Audit Trail provides the following information:

   Column	Description
   ID	Unique activity identifier.
   Username	Username of the user who performed the activity. Note: The report denotes deleted users by appending (deleted) to the username.
   Session	Unique identifier for the user's Oracle Empirica Signal session.
   IP Address	IP address of the computer used to connect to the application. In cases where the connected user is a system user, the IP address displays ::1 (local).
   Activity Name	Category and name of the activity.
   Activity Date	Date and time when the user activity occurred. The date and time format is determined by a site option, and by your time zone preference.
   Additional Information	Details about the activity that was performed. This might include the name and unique identifier of an object where the identifier is in parentheses, such as CaseSeries=My Case Series(533). For system errors, an error ID appears. The Signal server log file contains the same error identifier and more details about the error. Note: The Additional Information field of an audit record may include more text than will fit in a single row of the table. In this case, the record will overflow across multiple rows, creating additional entries in the table as needed to show the complete record. Each entry will have a unique ID. The Additional Information cell will begin with the text "Part [x] of [total]" to indicate the total number of rows showing the complete record.
