How can I set a report to have an audit trail?

[Former Member]

I am using Business Objects Enterprise and am having a difficult time getting an audit trail set up for reports. If reports are scheduled, then the audit trail exists. But if the reports are manually generated, no audit trail exists. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Auditing database maybe?

Other than writing your own front end app that allows users to run reports on demand and keeping track yourself, I do not think there is any way to do this.

So when a user logs into Info View and generates a report, there is no way to track this? We are dealing with sensitive patient information and all views of patient data are required to be logged.

The best way I could suggest is to set security rights so that users can't view on demand and are required to schedule the report and then view it so they can have the audit trail. Your other option is to look at the auditing functionality and see if it can do what you are looking for.

How do I get to the "auditing functionality"? Where are those settings?

You would probably be best to ask that question in [this forum|; as this one is about the SDK's.
