    User Log Sheet

    Is there any way to review user log sheet?

    At the end of each day I would like to review each transaction by each user.  Please guide how to take out such information?

    If it is gift data you want to monitor you can run the gift entry validation report.  For everything else, you need to run a query. Therefore, if you want to check constituent entry, you can create a constituent query to monitor all new additions of and changes to constituent records within a specific date range, i.e, today and see who the user was.  However, with the changes, it will not specify what the change has been.

    With the base product there is no such thing as a log.  All you can get from RE is who added the "record" and who changed the "record" last but not what field(s) they changed. 

    Some people have used the API optional module to program something which records these things but that module is expensinve and then there's the programming.

    The RE8 designers I beleive are designing the new core product to record these things and make the info accessible.  Those of us without API need to be patient.

    You would actually need to use the VBA module for this to work.  I understand that the VBA module is less expensive than the API module, but still costs quite a bit of money.

    I don't think that the RE8 designers are programming this.  This functionality is incorporated into MS SQL 2005.  RE8 is simply leveraging this built-in functionality.
