> Auditing Attributes

Datastream 7i provides a flexible way to track changes of every attribute for almost every table. When a user enters, updates, or deletes an attribute, Datastream 7i records the old value, new value, user code, function used, and date/time stamp. To activate this auditing, you must know the attribute (item) name and the technical name of the table to track. Choose Options | Administration | View Technical Information from the menu bar to view the attribute name and the table name for a field.

Datastream 7i cannot track tables that do not appear in a list of values or have no primary key.

   The number of audits might grow very fast; purge data frequently to aid system performance.
