Audit Report

The Pinnacle system maintains a comprehensive audit trail of all significant additions and alterations made, when they were made and by whom. The Audit Report may be used to report on these audit details.

You can also archive an audit report when the audit trail grows large.

Archiving Audit Reports

Since the audit trail continues to grow in size as long as the system is in use, you may decide that it is necessary to periodically reset the audit trail in order to conserve disk space. Pinnacle requires that before the audit trail is reset a complete audit report must be archived.

If you wish to archive and reset the system audit trail, you must first produce a complete audit report (no parameters specified). You will then be able to select the Archive option under the File menu. You will be prompted for the location and name of the file to contain the archived report. When you have supplied these details the report will be archived.

If archiving is successful a prompt will be displayed asking whether you wish to reset the system audit trail. To reset the system audit trail, click on the Yes button. The audit trail will be reset and the number for the next audit report will be incremented.
