Change Auditor 7.1.1 - Web Client User Guide

Where tab

Use the Where tab to purge events captured by specific agents, domains, or sites. By default (when the Where tab is empty), events captured by all agents will be purged or archived.

When multiple ‘where’ criteria is added to this tab, Change Auditor uses the ‘OR’ operator to evaluate events, purging or archiving events that were captured by any of the specified agents, domains or sites.

To purge events captured by a specific agent, domain or site:

From the Purge and Archive wizard, select Purge, and then enable Only selected events to activate the criteria tabs.

Open the Where tab and click Add.

On the Choose the Agents, Domains or Sites to Include dialog, use the Browse or Search pages to locate an individual agent, domain or site.


	NOTE: You can also select the Grid View option to select an agent from a list rather than using the Explorer View to locate it within your environment.

Once you have located an agent, domain or site, select it and click Add to add it to the selection list at the bottom of the dialog.

Repeat this step to include each additional agent, domain or site.

Click OK to save your selection and close the dialog.


	NOTE: Use Add With Events (instead of Add) to select agents, domains, or sites that already have an event associated with it in the database.

Change Auditor will now search for and purge or archive change events captured by the agents, domains, or sites listed on the Where tab.


	NOTE: To purge or archive events NOT captured by the agents, domains, or sites listed on the Where tab, select the Exclude The Following Selection(s) check box at the top of the Where tab.

To use a wildcard expression to specify agents, domains, or sites:

From the Purge and Archive wizard, select Purge, and then enable Only selected events to activate the criteria tabs.

Open the Where tab, expand Add and click Add Wildcard Expression.


	NOTE: If you used Add With Events, click Add Wildcard Expression on the Add Agents, Domains, Sites dialog.

On the Add Where dialog, enter the wildcard expression to be used to search for agents (NetBIOS name, domains or sites.

•

Select the comparison operator to be used: Like or Not Like

•

Enter the pattern (character string and * wildcard character) to be used to search for a match. Use the * wildcard character to match any string of zero or more characters.

•

By default, the wildcard expression will be used to search for agents. To search for domains or sites, select the Domain or Site option.

Click OK to close the dialog and add the wildcard expression to the Where tab.

Change Auditor will now search for and purge or archive change events captured by the agents, domains or sites whose name matches the specified wildcard expression.

Origin tab

Use the Origin tab to purge events originating from a specific workstation or server. By default, (when the Origin tab is empty) events will be purged regardless of the workstation or server from which they originated.

When multiple ‘origin’ criteria is specified on this tab, Change Auditor uses the ‘OR’ operator to evaluate events, purging or archiving events originating from any of the specified workstations or servers.

To purge events based on where they originated:

From the Purge and Archive wizard, select Purge, and then enable Only selected events to activate the criteria tabs.

Open the Origin tab and click Add.

On the Add Origin dialog, enter the wildcard expression to be used to include workstations or servers, based on their NetBIOS name or IP address:

•

Select the comparison operator to be used: Like or Not Like

•

Enter the pattern (character string and * wildcard character) to be used to search for a match. Use the * wildcard character to match any string of zero or more characters.

Click OK to close the dialog and add the wildcard expression to the Origin tab.

Change Auditor will now search for and purge or archive change events originating from workstations/servers whose machine name (NetBIOS name or IP address) matches the specified wildcard expression.


	NOTE: To purge or archive events NOT originating from the workstations or servers listed on the Origin tab, select the Exclude The Following Selection(s) check box at the top of the Origin tab.

To select an originating workstation or server that has an event in the Change Auditor database:

From the Purge and Archive wizard, select Purge and then enable Only selected events to activate the criteria tabs.

Open the Origin tab and click Add With Events.

The Add Origin dialog appears populated with originating workstations/servers that have an event associated with it in the Change Auditor database.


	NOTE: Use Add Wildcard Expression to enter a wildcard expression to include workstations/servers from this list based on their NetBIOS name or IP address.

On the Add Origin dialog, select one or more originating workstations/servers from the list and click Add to add it to the selection list at the bottom of the page.

Click OK to close the dialog and add the selected workstations to the Origin tab.

Change Auditor will now search for and purge or archive change events originating from the selected workstations/servers.

Report Layouts page

The Report Layouts page is displayed when Report Layouts is selected from the Configuration task list in the navigation pane of the Administration Tasks page. From this page you can add, edit or delete global report templates that define the header and footer information for query-based reports.

The Report Layouts page contains a list of all the report templates that have been previously defined. Initially, this list contains the Default template, which will be used for all search results reports unless changed on the Report tab of a search’s Search Properties tabs.

•

To add a page header, click the Page Header button. Click on the report grid and the header pane will be added to the top of the page. Use the arrow controls or Height setting in the Properties pane to resize the header pane.

Open the System Variables tab in the Text Editor, locate the page number variable to be used (e.g., PageNofM). Double-click the variable to add it to the text pane. Click OK to save your selection and close the Text Editor.


	NOTE: This is an example of how to use the report designer to add a simple header and footer. However, there are many more capabilities with the new report designer which uses StimulReport.Net components. For a detailed description and functionality of each component available for designing reports, see the Stimulsoft online help (www.stimulsoft.com).

After saving any changes using the Save Report button in the upper left corner of the report designer, click Close to return to the Report Layouts page.
