About this task

Customized Workflows within the Guardium Audit Workflow process

The formal sequence of event types that are created in Workflow Builder is managed by clicking Event and Additional Column in the Audit Tasks window. This button displays only after an audit task is created and saved.

Procedure

  1. Configure these workflow activities when Adding An Audit Task.
  2. Create and save an Audit Task. After you save the audit task, the Events and Additional Columns is displayed.
  3. Click Events and Additional Columns.
  4. Under Event and Sign-off, select the Task has Event checkbox. The workflow that is created in Workflow Builder displays in the Default Event Type list.
  5. Select the workflow and save the changes.
  6. Under Define Additional Columns, provide information such as company codes and business unit for the workflow report, and click Apply, and close the window.
  7. Save your audit task and the audit process definition.
  8. Click Run Once Now to create the report and then click View to view the report.

    The Event and Additional Column button is displayed for all audit tasks.

    Tip: If data level security at the observed data level is enabled under Global Profile settings, then audit process output is filtered so users see only the information for their databases.

    Under the Report choices within Add an Audit Task are two procedural reports, Outstanding Events and Event Status Transition. Add these two reports to two new audit tasks to view details of all workflow events and transitions. These two reports are not filtered based on observed data level security filtering. These two reports are available in the list of reports by default only to admin user and users with the admin role.
