In many places within the system, an internal audit record is attached to create a detailed audit trail when you make a change. Use the Audit Categories page to manage a list of available audit category options, per audit type, in order to help you track and understand changes occurring in your system. You can use the default categories provided, or edit or add category names to create customized categories. When you save the changes, the categories will appear in the Audit category selectors throughout the system.
You can also access audit history information from this page. See Viewing Audit History for more information.
You must have proper security authorization to configure audit categories. See FMS Security (and ACCESS security event) for information about configuring security access to administrative options.
See Auditing in CygNet Measurement for more information about internal auditing in the measurement system.
On the Admin menu, click Options, then Audit Categories to access the audit categories configured for your system.
The properties for the Audit Categories page of the Administrative Options dialog box are described below.
