Creating an audit trail report

You can create a report of selected audit trail information. Filters are also provided for you to specify the documents, actions, dates, and users upon which to report. The report data may be viewed in a dialog box, sent formatted to a web browser where it can be printed to a Windows printer, or saved as a standard comma-separated value (CSV) file that can be opened in any compatible application.

Before you begin

A system administrator must grant you the Display Audit Report privilege to use this command.

To create an audit trail report:

1. In PowerUser, in the Navigation view pane select the documents that you want to include in the report.
2. Right-click any selected document name. The document shortcut menu appears.
3. Click Print Audit Report. The Audit Report dialog appears.
4. Select the report options that you want.
5. Click OK to save your changes. The Audit Trail Results dialog shows the data for the options that you selected.
6. To export the report data to a CSV file, click Export and specify the file destination.
7. To print a hardcopy, click Print Report. The Audit Report Options dialog appears.

1. Select the properties in the Available properties column that you want to include in the hardcopy.
2. Choose either Column layout, which will print the report in tabular format with the property names in the first row or Record layout, which will print all of the properties for each event in a labeled list before listing the properties of the next event.
3. Click OK. Your default web browser opens showing the formatted report data similar to the following figure. You may then view, print, or save the data with the web browser’s standard commands.

8. Click Close when you are finished with the data.
