Define Auditing Properties for a Relationship

Use the Auditing page in the Relationship Properties window to define auditing options for records in the Relationship. When you enable auditing on a Relationship, you define which changes to child object records are tracked in the parent object's history records.

To define auditing properties for a Relationship:

1. Open the Relationship Properties window:
   1. In the CSM Administrator main window, click the Blueprints category, and then click the Create a New Blueprint task.

      Note: If working on a saved Blueprint, open the existing Blueprint.

      The Blueprint Editor opens, showing the Object Manager in its Main Pane. The Object Manager lists the existing Business Objects.

   2. In the Object Manager, click a Business Object in the Object tree, and then click the Edit Relationships task in the Structure area.

      The Relationship Editor opens.

      Tip: You can also click the Edit Relationship button on the Blueprint Editor Toolbar to open the Relationship Editor.

   3. Click Add to add a new Relationship, or Edit to edit an existing Relationship.
2. Click the Auditing page.
3. Select Enable Auditing to enable auditing for the records within the Relationship. Then, define auditing options:

   For an Owns Relationship:

   • Audit Adds: Select this check box to track when a child object is added.
   • Audit Edits: Select this check box to track when a child object is edited.
   • Audit Deletes: Select this check box to track when a child object is deleted.
   • Combine Child Changes: Select this check box to have one history record created for all changes made to a child object before it is saved.
   • Separate Field Edit Records: Select this check box to track each Field that is edited in the child object in a separate history record.

     Note: This option is only available if you checked Audit Edits.

   For a Link Relationship:

   • Audit Deletes: Select this check box to track when a linked object is deleted.
   • Audit Linked Records: Select this check box to track when a linked object is added.
   • Audit Unlinked Records: Select this check box to track when a linked object is unlinked from the parent.
     Note: Auditing options are not available for Owned By Relationships.

4. Click OK.

5. Publish the Blueprint (File>Publish Blueprint) to commit the changes, or save the Blueprint (File>Save Blueprint) to continue making other changes.
