This Audit Report allows you to specify the Date Range to be reported, the data entries, processes, and changes that occurred [e.g. the Form(s), Employee(s), Account(s), Table(s), User(s), etc.], and the Type of the Data Related Events to be included in the report.
The only Data Related Events that are available for this Audit Report are those that are executed by Employees who are members of an Employee Group whose assigned Forms have Access Rights for Audit, or have been specifically assigned to Forms with an Audit setting.
To print the Audit Report, on the Main Menu Select Reports and Choose the Audit Reports sub-menu, then Select the Audit option.

Choices - Unless specific Form(s), Employee(s), Account(s), Table(s), User(s), etc. are chosen, all system based database updates and report processing events will be listed.
In order to limit the information to actually what is  needed to complete the required audit procedure, Check as many of these choices, as appropriate, to refine the data set to be viewed.
Once any of these choices are Checked, the data events reported may include information relating to the other choices, without limitation.
For example, if you've chosen to report on a specific Form Name, everyone who made data changes in that Form within the Date Range specified will be included in the report.  You could then limit the report to changes made by a specific Employee who accessed a specific Form by specifying both the Form Name and the Employee.
In another example, if you wanted to view all of the changes made to a specific Subscriber record, you would Check the Subscriber box and locate that specific Account.
Form Name - By default, no Form Name selection is made.
