Additional auditing capabilities (listed below) are available for all Hierarchical changes made in Hierarchy Management.

• Ability to search all changes under the Hierarchy Audit Area except for Attribute Setup performed via the Setup link in Hierarchy Management. Attribute Setup changes are displayed as User Defined Attributes
• Three additional informational columns are displayed in the results when auditing hierarchies. These columns are Source, Old Value, and New Value and they provide more detailed information about the actions performed by an end user
• The Audit Description column includes more details on the field modified by a user. Parent information is provided as well
• The Audit Actions list is simplified. All actions are categorized as Add, Edit, or Delete
• Information on session timeout and reasons for login failures is provided

The Source column provides information on how the change was made. For example, a user performed “input”. The Old Value column provides information on the original value before the change the user performs. For example, the user changes the member code from xyz to abc. So, xyz is shown as the Old Value. The New Value column provides information on the updated value. So, if the user changes the member code from xyz to abc, abc is shown as the New Value.
