Slide 4

Slide notes: We must point out that there are many different kinds of Audit Trails in IES Business. This particular Report is not to be confused with other Audit Trails. The purpose of this Report is to reveal specific Data Element changes performed by Users while using File Maintenance options, usually on Master Files, and specifically for Fields listed on the File Manager as Fields to track changes for. Tracking also happens only during periods when File Auditing is 'switched on' at the Main System Parameters. For execution of the Report, we have a number of criteria to target specific information we are looking for, like Datamart, User who performed it, when was it performed, etc.
