CNS Audit

Description

Safeguarding your data is an important, and often daunting, task. We at CNS Plug-ins want to help ease your mind. CNS Audit is a plug-in that takes the headache out of creating an Audit Trail of your data. Whether you just want peace of mind about being able to get a record back that you have accidentally deleted or if you have to comply to regulatory mandates like HIPAA, you can use CNS Audit to create an Audit Trail of your data within minutes.

CNS Audit started out with a 0.5 Preview Version and has now graduated to a full 1.0 release. Version 1.0 brings with it many improvements in speed and usability. Rollback support has been added for undoing field level changes and undeleting entire records. New fields have been added to the CNS Audit Log table for logging even more information. The CNS Audit Example database has been updated to show off all the new features. And finally, a Setup Guide, complete with step-by-step instructions and screenshots, is now included to show just how easy it is to set up a database with CNS Audit.

CNS_Audit Features:

• Easy Setup - The included Setup Guide walks you through the very simple process of adding CNS Audit to your database.
• Small Footprint - CNS Audit only needs 2 fields per table and a Limited Delete Privilege for every Privilege Set defined to create the Audit Trail.
• Simple Functions - CNS Audit’s main logging function only takes 2 parameters, both of which are the two fields you add to your table. CNS Audit’s access log function also only has 2 parameters, and only one of them is actually required.
• Complete Logging - CNS Audit is a full field-level auditing plug-in, logging not only the current table, but also every related table in the current context.
• Extensive Setup Dialog - If CNS Audit’s default logging preferences do not completely suit your situation, you can use the Setup Dialog to define exactly which fields to log as well as any Custom Log Fields you need.
• Custom Log Fields - Add Custom Log Fields to the database where you define calculations to evaluate for the values of the Custom Log Fields.
• Rollback Support - Undo field level changes or undelete entire records.
• Initialization Feature - Initialized the CNS Audit Log table with a snapshot of your database at the point you implement the plug-in. Any modification after that can be easily undone.
