Audit Process To-Do List
Use the Audit Process To-Do List to track tasks that are assigned to you or other users.
As an administrator, you can perform any actions on any to-do list entry. Any actions that you take are logged, indicating that the action was taken by the administrator on behalf of the user. You can manage audit processes one at a time or in bulk. For more information, see Step 3.
- Open the Audit Process To-Do List by one of:
- Click the icon in the page banner.
- Browse to .
- If you receive an email notification, click the To-Do List link to open your To-Do List. Alternatively, click the report link to open the results. In either case, you must have access to your email from a location that also has access to Guardium®.
- Take one of the following steps to filter the list:
- Select the user whose To-Do list you want to open, either from View To-Do List of, or click Search Users and select a Role or User from the Search Users dialog.
- Type in part or all of a Process name and click Search.
- Select either an Execution start date, an Execution end date, or both.
- Within the processes list, you
can mark multiple processes as viewed or signed. To work with multiple processes:
- Select one or more processes from the list and click Mark selected as viewed to change each process to viewed. When prompted, add a comment and then click Add comment. The comment is the same for all selected processes.
-
If you have signing authority, you can then click Mark selected as signed to mark each selected process as signed. When prompted, add a comment and then click Add comment.
If you select Apply to all processes with selected name, and then click Mark selected as viewed or Mark selected as signed, Guardium performs the requested action on all processes with the selected name.
For example, say the Process1 process runs every 10 minutes. You usually turn it off at night, but you forgot and when you come in the next morning, multiple pages of Process1 audit processes are waiting in your To-Do list. Rather than opening each Process1 process, you can take the following steps:- Select Process1 from the list and select Apply to all processes with selected name. All processes named Process1 are selected, even if they are not on the visible page.
- Click Mark selected as viewed.
- Enter a comment and click Add comment.
- All of the Process1 processes in your list are now marked as viewed. If you have signing authority, then Sign viewed results displays for each process.
- If you have signing authority, you can now select a process again, and select Apply to all processes with selected name.
- Then, click Mark selected as signed, enter a comment, and click Add comment.
Note: When you select Apply to all processes with selected name, the action applies to all of the processes with the same name, even if they are not on the same page. That is, if you have 80 processes that are named Process1, but only 20 are visible, Guardium marks all 80 processes as either read or signed. - Click Search. The page refreshes with the search results.
- The options for viewing the To Do items are as follows:
- View: Click to open a dialog to view details about the process, including
distribution status and comments. In this dialog, you can

Diff is available only after the first time this task runs since Diff requires a previous result. The maximum number of rows that can be compared at one time is 5000. If the number of result rows exceeds the maximum, the message compare first 5000 rows only shows up in the diff result.

To-Do Lists and Data Level Security
Use the View To-Do List of menu to see the to-do lists of other users. Unlike the menu of users with admin role, the menu for other users includes only those users who are under the current user in the Data Level Security (DLS) hierarchy. If you have the admin or exempt role, then all users are shown in the menu.
If you access another user's results, the data that is presented in the report is filtered according to the Data Level Security and the role of the selected user. For example, for a custom workflow, the data is filtered according to the role of the selected user and the status that is defined for their role.
If you have an admin role, you can view the results of a user in your hierarchy based on the Data Level Security and the role of the selected user. If you access the result for a user who is not under the hierarchy, then it shows the result by using the Data Level Security of the administrator and shows for all roles.
When a result is added to a user's to-do list because of a change in an event status, if the result is not already in the to-do list, then Guardium sends an email to the user. The email does not contain a PDF, just a notification and link.
If a user goes to some other user's to-do list, a message indicates which user is determining the DLS filtering.
