It’s possible to configure audit trail options to track the creation, deletion, and modification of applications, users, and groups.

The Audit Trail feature enables you to track user activities on a global or per-application basis.

Application Xtender can Audit events, such as the creation, use, or deletion of documents, document pages, batches, queries, and various ApplicationXtender tools.In addition, activity related to the creation and deletion of users, groups, and applications can be tracked on a system-wide basis. Use of queues and import tools can also be tracked.

Each option on the Audit Trail page represents one audit event. When a user activity triggers an audit event, details of the audit event are recorded in the database.

ApplicationXtender Audit Trail encodes the time column tsstamp in the audit table in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) format. This enables the audit table entries to maintain consistency when workstations are located in multiple time zones. You can calculate your local time by applying your time zone offset.

To Enable the Audit Trail

Navigate to the Application Management > > Audit Trail node in ApplicationXtender Administrator and configure audit trail options to track the creation, deletion, and modification of applications, users, and groups.

In addition to tracking system-wide changes, you can configure default audit settings for user activities within each ApplicationXtender application.

Below is a legend view for the different check box view options.

When you set options for user activities within applications, you set audit defaults for all applications.

When creating or editing applications, you can choose to either use the default settings for user activities within applications or you can configure specific audit settings for user activities within each application. Note: When an Audit Trail setting is changed, IIS (internet Information Services) must be restarted before the change takes effect.
