Audit Message Definition Dialog Box

The Audit Notification system allows you to create an audit message when you need a message to record a system activity for which Sterling Gentran:Server® does not have a system-defined audit message.

Note: Audit messages you create are referred to as user-defined audit messages.

You also use the Audit Message definition dialog box to modify the properties of an existing audit message. These options enable you to customize the messages that the system generates.

The following table describes the parts of the Audit Message Definition dialog box. Except as noted within the table, the values in these fields cannot be changed for system-defined messages.
