Audit Reports
Audit reporting allows viewing or printing a
listing of changes made by operators, or
records of panel communications sessions. A
date/time range can be specified, and the
report can also be limited to desired criteria.
TechTip: Reports pertaining to past events are based
on the present event list, plus any archived data that
has been re-imported using the archive feature.
See: "Exporting or Importing Activity or Audit Logs".
As well, audit reports can be viewed and/or
printed right away, saved for future reference,
or exported for manipulation with another
program.
For better performance, be sure to select the smallest
date-range that meets your requirements. Also, you
can keep the audit log to a suitable size via regular use
of the Archive and/or Purge features.
See: "Exporting or Importing Activity or Audit Logs",
and "Removing old Activity or Audit Logs".
