The audit is/ will be a great tool, Now all thats missing(as far as I can tell) from this useful audit tool is just a field in the table for the workstation a keypress has come from. For such a widespread-able system you should be able to track not only the user that hit a button/changed a value, but the computer it came from. I guess I should suggest it as an addition as it is crucial, unless you have any ideas?(trying to keep from haveing extra scripitng involved)

Thanks

Hi,

Yes, that’s a good idea, audit events from clients should probably record the client ip and/or machine name. Unfortunately, I’m not sure there’s a simple way to work around it right now.

Perhaps we can get this added sometime in the 7.4 release.

Regards,
