hello, and welcome to this week's edition of RecChat. I'm your host Bret Alarcon. So our noir detective Seth Warren is here today to talk about the audit log. So that includes what the audit log does, but the columns and fields on the audit log data grid show, and some real world examples. So basically, we're learning how to be our own RecTrac Detectives. So before we start, if you have any questions, please ask them in the little q&a section, that's a little Button down at the bottom Click that will pop up a Field, you can ask a question and we'll give you an answer. We also have the chat Button down there as well, if you just want to leave a comment during the presentation. Also, for this presentation, we're planning on going a little bit long. So if you're not able to stick around for that 30 minutes, fear not, we will plan on getting into a deeper dive of this conversation and our next virtual symposium. For those of you that don't have our virtual symposium or don't know what it is, it is our hourly kind of topic conversation where we get together much like a RecChat and do a deeper dive and discussion. The certain RecTrac topic. If you want to know more about virtual symposium, you can contact our sales department. It's usually $600 a year for your entire organization. And we meet every other week, so weeks in between our RecChats. I'm not I just want to say that Zach is here as well. And normally and he'll and helping out with questions. So yeah, I guess other than that, I can hand it over to you, Seth. How you doing?
Seth Warren 1:55
Oh, I'm great. How are you today? Brett?
Bret Alarcon 1:57
doing pretty well. How are you?
Seth Warren 1:59
Oh, I'm good enough.
Bret Alarcon 2:01
I feel like I was gonna say someone else but then I totally forgot. So I panic.
Seth Warren 2:04
Oh, no worries. You're good. You're good. Oh, well, here. Let me share my Screen here. And we'll happen to some audit logs. Do? Share, hopefully, can you see my Screen? Okay, here?
Bret Alarcon 2:25
Yes, we can see it.
Seth Warren 2:27
Perfect. All right, everybody. Well, good morning, or good afternoon, wherever you are. My name is Seth Warren. And I want to talk to you all today a little bit about some audit logs. So kind of like what Brett was saying, you know, like audit logs. Think of them as kind of like your tool when you when it comes to trying to solve maybe some mysteries within your RecTrac database. Whether it's somebody has done something that maybe they weren't supposed to, and you're not sure why that change was made or, or really just if you want to see that certain things have been happening within your database. So I guess another way you can finally look at it is maybe that younger brother or sister that you had watching every move you made, while you're growing up and then telling your parents whenever you had done something. So in order to access it here, we're going to come into RecTrac. And so just as long as you're in the new UI, we're gonna go to your audit log inquiry. So I'll come up to my menu, I'll go to auto log inquiry, Click on that here. So when this comes up, just like most other data grids within RecTrac, we're kind of throwing you into that five o'clock rush hour traffic with lots of things going on. And maybe you're not exactly sure what how to navigate the information that's being presented to you, you know, within the grid, and that's fine, you know, everybody's kind of, you know, everybody's kind of in that spot to begin with. What I would say with that, and not just with this data grid, but with any data grid, using your filters are really the best, you know, medicine or best thing that you can do to help yourself. Use this efficiently here.
So when it comes to filtering these columns, you have some pretty decent options. The first thing that I like to mention, just starting up here in the upper left hand corner is your log date. So if you have a rough idea on when something maybe happened, like Jeez this was working two weeks ago, but now it's not not sure what happened, you know, I can come in here, pick a target date there that I knew what was last working. And I can use this filter here and say I want to look at anything that maybe happened on or after that date. Going further, you know, I've got a list of user names here. So obviously, user names are just, you know, all the different user names that are within your RecTrac. So I have a few in mind z z, z and you know other three letter initials but Uh, you know, I guess if you're not sure what your usernames, you know, are, you could always talk to somebody over there or go to User Management to find out for sure. But I can always filter just by typing in the Username that I'm looking for here. So just do z equals or I'm looking for a CW can do that equals. So I've got a couple of different options here available to me when it comes to filtering. Our sources are our sources and details are really kind of what program or thing happened, and then what maybe specifically happened with it. So this, this tends to, I think, maybe throw people for a little bit of a loop, if they're not 100% sure what it is that they're looking for in the first place. Just that certain terminologies in here might not be ones that you normally would think of to search when it comes to a source. So a good example of this here is if I go to my STW, user here, so I've got this household merge as a source all one word, I might not know that that's exactly what I'm looking for under the source, I might know that I want to identify what happened during a merge. But I might not know, you know what that source specifically is.
In cases like that, what I like to do is I like to go in and try to run a test of me doing the behavior within RecTrac. Just so I can see how the audit log makes a note of that. And so I'm gonna come in here. And obviously, this is a test environment here. So I don't really have any qualms about merging anybody, but you might have some qualms about that. So I'm going to, I'm going to take a sidestep here to a different thing. And I'm going to make a change in a Profile, and then see how that relates. And because I think we've all kind of run into that situation, sometimes where there's a setting that you expect to work one way, it's not now working, and you're not sure maybe what happened to that setting originally. So I'm going to come down to, let's see, I'll come down to permissions, I'm just going to come in here update. And hopefully, you don't have too many people coming in here and messing around, I can't imagine you do. But just for the sake of argument, I'm just going to come in here that a couple of these to no. Come back to my audit log. And so what I'm going to do is now I've know that I've made this change today. So I'm going to choose today's date to help narrow down the scope of things. And I know I was logged in as ZZZ at the time. And then so now that I've narrowed down to date to today, and I've narrowed down the Username to z, z, z, I can see here that there was a Profile update, right here. So I see that the source Type is maintenance. And I see the detail Field one here is SA Profile update. Also important to note here is this detail to this 138980 number. And I believe we'll be going into a little bit more detail about this during the during the virtual symposium. But think of that as the ID number that's kind of associated with the Profile in question.
So in this case, if I want to see what the change happened there, or what change happened here, I can select this record, I can have additional details. And so I can see that the original values, you know, within this permission Profile were set to Yes, so I was allowed to override activity enrollment, rule violations, visit violations pass, and pass visit now they're set to No. I can also see that the ZZ user was the one that did that. And that happened at 207 On today's date. So if I want to see if anything else happened with this Profile, I can use this information and manipulate my filters a little bit here. So if I come down here and under detail to if I search for 138980. And I'm going to remove my zzz. And I'm going to remove my date. So what this does is I can see anytime there's been a change to this permissions Profile within my RecTrac database. Now, obviously, I'm not doing a lot in here, it's just my test environment. But, you know, I can see that it looks like this permission Profile has been changed or updated in some kind of way six times, I can see specifically who the user was that made those changes. I can see what time and what date that they made those changes on. And if I Click on them here and had additional details, I can get an idea of what that change was. So in this case here I was working on a case where a customer wanted to hide their posting options and Inventory Point Of Sale, and so it went into the purchase into the permission Profile and remove some of the options to make sure that that was where that Field was, was being controlled. Hopefully, I'm not going too fast is that? I haven't lost anybody yet.
Bret Alarcon 10:17
No. So basically, it was what you're saying, if you want to look for something, do it yourself and RecTrac and then trace the steps.
Seth Warren 10:25
Yeah, yeah, it's, yeah, because like anybody could come into Profile assignments here and take a Profile, make a change, and then change it right back afterwards. And that will all get written into the audit log. And then, once you've written that into the audit log, you can see what how that source is listed, have the details listed, and most importantly, what the detail to is listed. And then you can use that detailed to value to filter your audit log to show you maybe any other changes that have happened in there. So I had made the change here in the permissions Profile today, as the example to see you know, how the audit log registered it. And then I took that detail 2 value and told the audit log, all right, I want to see every instance of when this Profile has been, you know, touched in any kind of way, deleted, added or updated, what have you. And so then I get a listing of each time this Profile has been updated in some way, shape or form, I can see the user the date and time and then I can look and see, you know, what this person maybe did during this update here, if I'm trying to identify a change, that's, that's happened.
Bret Alarcon 11:40
Probably a good time to dust off those Demo databases. If in case you have to do like a deletion or purge,
Seth Warren 11:48
or for sure, or like, put together with also like a, like a household transfer merge Exactly. Like if you're not sure how that would be listed here in the audit log, you blow the dust off the Demo, you know, get it started back up, and, you know, go in and run a household transfer merge. And it doesn't really matter who if you're in Demo, and then you can see, you know, you can see exactly how the audit log references it and then you can and then you can use those same source and detail fields in your live database. Because it's, you know, the ID numbers are the same, you know, in that case, so. Alright, I'm just to give you an example here of a couple other ways that some of this information can show. Alright, so I can see here that the Seth Warren, user here, has added a household today. So if I just wanted to see what a particular user of mine has done in a database, and you know, you know, over the course of a day, I can choose the day in question. And then I can choose the user. And I can see it listed out everything that this user has done. So for this STW user, I can see they added a household. If I Click on the household here, hit additional details, it looks like you know, I can see that this person added a new household, they added Bob Gina, or Jean and Tina Belcher as their own household. Under Linda's name here, I seem to date, the creation time the ETS record status. Okay, so I guess one thing to note here is it's not necessarily showing me the category that the household would be assigned to if it was a resident or non resident.
So that might be something kind of important to note. However, if I go into a household here, because I know sometimes this happens, not just going to Charlie Brown's household, it's like Charlie owes this. And if I change Charlie's category from residents, non resident, and save back to the audit log, I'm logged in at ZZZ here. So I can see that there was an update. I can see that Charlie's status, his both his household category and his household peacoat here was changed from non resident to resident. So I mean, I do think that this is something that customers do run into quite often, you know, particularly if you're using residency versus non residency fee codes or rules, you know, somebody creates a household, you know, and then they're assigned as a non resident and are supposed to be resident or vice versa. You know, you could come in here and look to see if somebody had made that change. In the case of Charlie Brown here, kind of similar to what we did with the Profile. Once I'm able to identify a change that was made to that specific household, I can grab this ID number here, throw it into detail 2, just like I did with the other Profile, remove a user name. And so if there was anything else that had happened with this household here, I can see who the user was that maybe manipulated it. So okay, so I changed their household number there. But so, but I guess in this case, here, if you have a household that has a status that you're unsure of, or or you're unsure why it's resident or non resident, the audit log will pick that up here. If you go in, make the change and then come into your audit log, you can grab that record ID from that detail to column and then filter for it and see who maybe made that change.
Hey Seth we got a question.
Yeah
Bret Alarcon 15:35
Pam wants to know, why doesn't the address on the original setup show in the audit log?
Seth Warren 16:04
Was the address from your original setup not show up in the audit? Let's see here, I see Yeah, no, I see what you mean here. So I mean, we get some basic information but not not specifically the address. That is a good question. I don't actually know where these fields are derived from you know, outside of or what settings allow for these fields to be there versus you know, other fields of information to be logged zakra I'm not sure if you guys know that off the top of your head
Bret Alarcon 16:45
not sure but what happens if we go into a household and change the address that we picked up?
Seth Warren 16:51
That is a great question.
Zach Malloch 16:53
I know we've definitely made enhancement requests to increase what the audit log actually tracks so if it in fact does not track something we can make a request
Seth Warren 17:02
well I wonder if it's because I didn't put an address my you know after my my database is pretty bare bones here let me just make one real super quick here Mr. E. Okay, so I guess as long as the I mean I do have the address here so I guess if the question was derived just from what I was sharing on my Screen the reason why it wasn't there was because I wasn't asking for the the address information in in my database. I'm sure that won't be the situation for for most of you it's just I think it just happens to be the nature of my kind of bare bones testing RecTrac environment here that I'm not requiring any address information. You know, when I add in this Mr. E, individual, and put in an address I have it right here listed in the audit log. So your audit log should be picking that information up to as long as we're putting the information in at the time that the household creation
Bret Alarcon 18:37
so that if we do put an address for the Belcher household it will show up. Blank right.
Seth Warren 18:44
I would think so too. If we come back into Bob. Yeah, we'll give them 70 Burger lane. I'm pretty sure that show takes place in New Jersey with the boardwalk
Bret Alarcon 19:07
It just removed your address, I think.
Seth Warren 19:10
Oh, yeah, my my computer's anti New Jersey for some reason, though. It's, it's not a burger away. Here, the French. Chanel details. Yeah, so I can see now that we've added that address here to Bob's household. So I guess kind of important to note here, too. So it's not giving you all the information about the household over and over again, it's just giving you the information that was changed. The other thing too is and I don't think this would be normally the experience here for you all but I think just the way that I have my database set up here because I'm manually put in this address, my category was removed here. So it went from resident to not being assigned. I think that's just because I was messing around with address management the other day. So if I go back to Bob's
I guess maybe this is, you know, in a way, kind of a good way to share this as a, you know, kind of a double check here to right? like, I go when I added household, and then if I look at the audit log, and I'm not sure why value is missing, you know, I can see oh, well, hey, you know, I see that you change the address there. But, you know, you don't have a household category. So that's going to mess up our fee code. So it's going to mess up, you know, our rules that say, you know, a household with a category of, you know, resident is allowed to purchase this item when or, you know, gets this discount, you know, because they're, you know, because they're a resident.
Bret Alarcon 21:02
Cool. All right. Nick has a comment. Hey, VSI crew or VS crew I should say. Joining late, but notice, criteria, changes on rules and fees don't get logged, it would be awesome. If we could add it. Yeah. So as Zach was saying earlier, there are a lot of new requests for things the audit log can do. So if it can't do any criteria, changes for rules and fees, we can certainly add that. And I can make a note of that for the presentation.
Seth Warren 21:32
Yeah, I mean, that's a it's a good point. Like I know, it'll, I know, it will identify like changes to fees. But I think because criteria are handled a little differently. Like I go to just go to inventory management here real quick and throw criteria on two pieces of bacon
link to the system. Oh my goodness, who links anything to a system sub code anymore? It's because the recipe I'm sorry, folks.
there we go, change change. So if I change this amount from 50, because that's too much to 425. And then if I just add a criteria Feecode say household non resident.
So get the fee add here. So yeah, I showed the amount change, but just not. Not the criteria.
Bret Alarcon 23:11
Did you Click save? Although I'm still won't show the criteria that?
Seth Warren 23:15
Yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure it won't like I didn't save the criteria. I didn't save the record, but even then it shouldn't still record any changes there.
Bret Alarcon 23:25
Okay. Get that written up? Yeah, for sure. All right. Alex, is asking, is there any way to add criteria? Oh, to be tracked, for example, we're trying to figure out if summer residents are being marked as non resident when they create a household in WebTrac. But that does not seem to be something that is tracked.
Seth Warren 23:49
When somebody is marked as a non resident when the house was created on WebTrac
Bret Alarcon 23:55
are some of our residents are being marked as non resident when they create a household and Rec? WebTrac?
Seth Warren 24:01
On WebTrac? I know we I know there was a recent bug with that, but I thought got released in 311012
Bret Alarcon 24:11
Sorry, newest version,
Seth Warren 24:13
I'm pretty sure. Here I guess if we if we grabbed out his contact information, we can you know, we can look at it maybe afterwards, I'll see if that's been released yet or not. I know that they're trying to remember the context of of the Button, but it did have something to do with households that were being created on WebTrac. And then even if I think your household Profile was set to have those all be resident, you know, it was defaulting to the non resident or it wasn't like it wasn't using your address check to to predetermine what the household category was going to be on. WebTrac The think of is just assigning it all to I think non Resident but I'm not 100%? Sure, we'd have to look to know. But But ya know, if we can drop down Alex's contact information, we'll look and reach back out.
Bret Alarcon 25:09
Yeah, definitely, Alex, if you can message me in the little chat Window, we can get your contact information and get back to you. And they're also adding, yes, we use address management and the zip code to mark them. And the bug was fixed a while back. But we have been seen about 20% of our residents daily being marked as non residents. Interesting.
Seth Warren 25:31
Okay, even beyond that. All right. So
Bret Alarcon 25:33
yeah, we'll have to, we'll have to get your contact information, see if we can get someone to come back to this if we can work out that bug. If it is.
Seth Warren 25:41
Yeah, no, I mean, it might be I don't know. Yeah, we'd have to Yeah, there'd be a little bit of digging there, probably to know for sure. You know, we but we can do some kind of trial and error testing and see what we can, you know, find out.
Bret Alarcon 25:55
Hunter wants to know, question, does the audit logs show anything that would be considered a transaction, for example, update, recent fees and the household purchase history?
Seth Warren 26:07
Oh, that's, that's a great question. I'll tell let's, let's do one real quick here. And we'll verify for sure. Certainly happened to global sales.
Zach Malloch 26:16
And some of that could definitely lend itself a little bit more to like household transaction history rather than the audit log. And I think that's probably why there's a distinction is because we do track it in one area. So we're not doing it
Seth Warren 26:28
in, in in multiple areas.
Zach Malloch 26:31
And what you find here,
Seth Warren 26:34
here, I just got to apologize. I just gotta update my daily processing Profile real quick here Yep. Oh, I know how to spell just today to do.
Alright, thank you. Let's hop over to purchase history. Alright, Bob's enrolled in July morning care. So we'll do a couple things here. So we're going to update these fees. Let's say 50. And I'll take this one. reset it. I'm going to take this and cancel Bob's waitlist enrollment for Magic the Gathering booster draft. Come in here. They cash No need. That's fine. All right, audit log. Tell me what you see. ZZZ. Today's date. Yeah, so none of that got logged. But I think to Zach's point, it's not that the information doesn't get logged at all. It's just that when it comes to transactional postings in RecTrac You know, we have you know, we've got a number of different database tables here that just come in here
Bob, what is your household number buddy? Sorry, I know we're kind of going off the tracks here a little bit. Part of the reason why this is probably will make for a good bigger topic your team. So if I go to transaction date today. So even though it's not getting logged in the audit,
So I guess the point here is that even though it's not being written the audit log, it doesn't mean that this data is not being written into the database. It's just that we have other we have other tables within our database that logs that information. So in the case of like your global sales and transactions in general, the audit log doesn't write that but it It gets written into what's fondly known as your SA detail table within RecTrac. And so that keeps track of anytime anybody add something into the shopping cart, anytime they remove an item from a shopping cart, so even putting something in the shopping cart and being like, now I don't want that anymore, and emptying the credit afterwards, still gets written on that table. So, so it does get logged, it's just not necessarily in the audit log. You know, and then I think, you know, DB inquiry on its own has its own, you know, beast of a topic to talk about one day, you know, but you do have, it's an altogether different, you know, you're using filters to narrow down the range of information for what it is that you're looking for. It's just instead of having it being presented. This way, you know, where we can narrow down some of the columns, you're, you're first presented with it with a query fields that you can say, Alright, show me, you know, household number three, and every transaction that that household did on, you know, oh, 801 2022, or, you know, whatever, or receipt number x or, you know, show me any household that signed up for this program on, you know, in between this date range, so you have a lot of options here to
Bret Alarcon 31:19
awesome, and I just want to, I just want to say that we have approached the 30 minute mark. So if you do have to go, we understand, but we're gonna stick around and try and bang out some more of these questions. Again, I just want to tell everybody about our virtual symposium, if you missed the first part of our chat is we have for the virtual symposium, that's bi weekly, so every other week, it is on the weeks that we don't have the RecTrac. And what the virtual symposium is, is a hour long discussion on various topics throughout RecTrac. And we usually have a little bit more time to dig down a little deeper on how these topics work in RecTrac. Again, to shoot at the price, it's $600 per year. And that's for your entire organization that join along for the virtual symposiums. And we do also record all the virtual symposiums and we put them in our RecTrac lab. So if you do subscribe to the virtual symposiums and you missed one, you can always go to a RecTrac lab. And then you should see our virtual symposiums in there as long as you are subscribed.
Seth Warren 32:25
Which is really a skill if you want to listen to me mumble trip over myself as I'm trying to show you things.
Bret Alarcon 32:31
Oh, yeah. All right. Nick did want to chime in about the question that we're talking about. Saying Hunter, we had success exploring the SA details using the DB inquiry, you can reprint receipts from the receipt list or use the transaction history. So thank you, Nick, for that comment. We also do have some comments about the WebTrac. And the resident non resident issue, Susan saying we had the same thing. And and now it seems pretty spotty. Sometimes it's marked as a resident and sometimes non resident, if I had, sorry, I had put a ticket in. And it was fixed, but it still happens occasionally. So Susan, I did add you to the list of people to get in contact with about the issue. And so when we dig more into it, you'll be notified. And then pat also is chiming in about it. Many ever WebTrac Customers also ended up in the nonresonant category, even though they're not, we have the address auto filled GPS system. So but they find if they Type too much of the address into RecTrac, it will default to non res, I don't believe the GPS is linked to the WebTrac. So we so we get more of them from there. So that's actually a good place to start looking to Pat, thank you for that information.
Seth Warren 33:57
Yeah, for sure. Especially like when it comes to troubleshooting this stuff, you know, if it seems like if more of the addresses is put in, you know, and then RecTrac Just like nope, alright, just non-resident, you know, like that gives us a, you know, an idea of something to try and maybe they identify what that threshold is or maybe what's causing that threshold to kick the system over to relaying that into non resident versus resident so definitely help.
Bret Alarcon 34:25
Alright, Bo, same as saying I do not believe bulk changes are also part of the standard audit log. Could you clarify?
Seth Warren 34:35
Oh, yeah, um, okay, yeah, let's let's check here. Let me go to Fee Management. Let's do more book change. option select all going to want to discount GL Code. This is probably where I'll get yelled at that I need to restart my event timer here.
Bret Alarcon 35:08
John is chiming in saying I've report that reports on bulk changes, and it works. So is that through the audit? Log John? Yes. Okay. So John's have been success with bulk changes, so you can see what's going on.
Seth Warren 35:26
Yeah, I just ran one here to should be able to find out pretty quick, yeah, SAFee bulk change. I can see, you know, every single. So, you know, this is, you know, this is maybe a lot, but like, these record IDs are all the are all the SAFee ID. So basically, it's taking every fee that I had selected in the bulk change, you know, so it's recording each of the ID numbers associated with each of those fees. And it's saying that original value was nothing. And then I've added this GL Code to be my discount GL Code. You know, obviously, this is just kind of a rushed job to show that it does wright. But But yeah, you should be able to find that here. The, I guess the main thing, maybe to know, in this case, is that the source is Bulk Change, just because they're detailed to Field zero. So so, you know, filtering for that might not bring up any results. But if you search for your sources, bulk change, or if you're curious about whether it's a you know, like, you know, I did that through Fee Management, so that's why it says sa fee, but if it was a bulk change for an activity, you know, it might say like AR section, or you know, pm pass or what have you, but certainly filtering for bulk change, and then removing these other values here to see if there are other bulk changes. Yeah, so I've got this activity section, you know, bulk change here, where I changed the begin time on it looks like one of my daycare programs when testing.
Bret Alarcon 37:02
Okay, yeah, but let's say section management in particular. So it does look like it still works for Section management errors. Change. Okay. So yeah, Bo, if you are still having problems with it, maybe we can get you in contact with one of our support crew, and they can help you out. Maybe figure out why Bulk Change for activity section might not be working for you know, we
Seth Warren 37:25
yeah, we could we could take a look at maybe what the logging levels are set and static parameters. I'm not sure if maybe that has some sway over what gets recorded in the audit log or not. But yes, we can certainly put in a ticket and have somebody take a look here.
Bret Alarcon 37:41
All right. Nicks chiming in. I got one more than I'm not sure of, that we can test here. But success, successful login attempt and pop cash drawer items on the audit log. Sometimes a drawer pop is recorded without a successful login, and user management, the last login Date Field updates, but a successful login is not recorded on the audit log. Do we know how this happens?
Seth Warren 38:09
That's a great question. I don't know that I'm going to be able to test it just that I don't have a drawer. And you know, I don't have a drawer associated. Well, I mean, I guess I have a drawer. I don't have an actual physical drawer here. So I don't think it's popping here. But let me
Zach Malloch 38:25
be a good place to plan to test that and bring back the information for the virtual symposium. I think, just because yeah, right now
Seth Warren 38:35
Oh, yeah. We're coming up. No, that's a that's good call. Oh, yes. My user here doesn't even have access to the audit log. Let's put this guy. Yeah, know what I'll do. Why don't we all you know, we'll add that to the list of things to talk about, you know, next week at the virtual symposium, and then that'll give me a chance to test that out and see for sure if that, if that does, you know, if that's not being logged, why that's not being logged, or if it is being logged, you know, what it is that we're doing differently here to cause that to be logged? I think if I just do a CW here, I can see, we'll see I don't even see that Seth Warren logged in here. So maybe that maybe that's something to do with my logging. settings here too. So yeah, good question. We will we'll jot it down. And then yeah, we'll we'll look to talk about that next week along with delving in deeper into the audit log
Bret Alarcon 39:33
Nick is saying, Let me know if you have any, or you want to use sample data you guys rock Thanks as always, and thank you for tuning in and watching. And then John just had some comments. I just wanted to read quickly. We use reports to track some things and financial audit that our financial auditors would be concerned with such as popping open cash drawers, I have scheduled reports that run weekly from the audit log. So yes, that's actually a good thing to do. Or Good idea is to schedule reports running from your audit log, if you do, are concerned about certain things like popping drawers. And then he also adds, I also have a report that shows all uses all uses of the VT to password. So I know when VSI stuff was my database. So that's actually kind of cool, too. You can try? Yeah.
Seth Warren 40:21
For sure. Yeah, well, that's, you know, I guess that is kind of a good point, though, is that, you know, when we do, you know, you know, if a member of Vermont systems does log in, you know, generally they're logging in under that ccz Username, but it does give you an opportunity to, to take a look, you know, on a given day and see, you know, you know, if z has been in there, and, you know, you, you know, that you don't log into z, z, z, you know, that, you know, that maybe somebody else has been but you know, not that, you know, not that Vermont's systems is, you know, actively going around and logging into people's databases, but still, you know, is a good point to bring up that you can do that. And, you know, we do have audit log reports, which we'll talk about here next week. And then, you know, you can schedule those out to include certain detail fields and filters, to make sure that you're just seeing the information, you know, that that you're looking for, you know, when that runs.
Bret Alarcon 41:15
Awesome. Well, thank you very much, Seth, for going over this. And thank you everybody else out there for tuning in and watching. Hopefully, we peaked some interest and we hope to see you for our virtual symposium, those virtual symposium users that we already have. We hope to see you and maybe some new faces.
Seth Warren 41:35
That sounds great. Thanks, everybody.
