Overview
Transaction logging is now available in CommonSpot 10.7.0 which provides the option of recording all of the events that modify data or settings within CommonSpot. Configurable at the Server, Customer and Site levels, this tool allows granular control of which activities to log and provides detailed reports of those activities. Reports can be viewed at the Server, Customer, Site, Subsite and Page levels that show the recorded transactions, the dates which they occurred, the user who performed the action and details of the action.
Transaction logging will log actions that occur either through the CommonSpot User Interface or any of CommonSpot’s APIs. Content Creation API events are not logged.
For each of the primary levels (Server, Customer and Site) you can control which actions/events you wish to record, and the duration for which you wish to keep the history. These settings.are managed with the Transaction Log Settings dialog found in Server Administration, Customer Administration and Site Administration > Utilities > Transaction Log Settings.
The Transaction Log Settings dialog in each of the 3 major sections of CommonSpot (Server, Customer, Site) are similar in that each contains a tree control listing the various options that may be enabled or disabled for that section.
The top section of all the Transaction Log Settings dialogs is represented in this screenshot:
Choosing the Log Specific Events radio button opens the tree control listing the options.
The Server dialog looks like this:
Check the box next to the operation you wish to log and click the Save button in the lower right of the dialog.
The Keep entries for: field provides a means to set how long the logs will remain on the file system before they are automatically deleted. Logs may be saved by using the Export to Excel link at the bottom of each Transaction History dialog.
