Changing the selection criteria

To reduce the scope of information that you are searching within an audit log, you can add selection criteria. This allows data to be manually checked, but also allows reports to be generated about specific date ranges, users or records.

Procedure

  1. Open the audit log you are interested in.

  2. On the Selection Criteria page, refine the audit entries based on criteria:

      Note: The date range must be valid, with the From date occurring before the To date.

    • On these days
