Select the event from the list and click Edit.
This displays the Rename dialog listing the existing description and allowing you to enter a new description for the selected event.
3
In the New field, enter the new description for the selected event and click OK.

Define events to be captured based on results

The Results column on the Audit Events page allows you to specify if an individual event is to be captured by Change Auditor based on the results of the operation performed in the event. That is, you can specify to capture an individual event based on the following results:

•
All Results - capture event regardless of the result returned.
•
Success Only - capture event only if the operation occurred as stated in the event.
•
Success and Failed Only - capture event if the operation occurred as stated in the event or if it was prevented due to a factor/setting outside of Change Auditor’s control.
•
Success and Protected Only - capture event if the operation occurred as stated in the event or if it was prevented because the object was protected using Change Auditor’s protection feature.
To change the results criteria for capturing an event:
1
Open the Audit Events page.
2
Locate the event to modify.
3
Place your cursor in the Results cell for that event, click the arrow control and select one of the following options:
•
All Results (default)
•
Success Only
•
Success and Failed Only
•
Success and Protected Only
4
Change Auditor will now only capture and return the event if the operation mentioned if the event meets the results criteria selected.
