Customizing Change Auditor

Now that you are familiar with running searches and viewing the results received, let’s discuss some additional features which allow you to customize what is being audited by Change Auditor and the results you are receiving.

Create a custom search

If you do not see a Built-in Report that suits your needs, it is very easy to create a custom report under the Private or Shared folder in the explorer view (left pane of the Searches page). Private searches are those that only you can run and view, whereas Shared searches can be run and viewed by all Change Auditor users.
