Implementation of Auditing in Office Timesheets
Office Timesheets uses a special auditing database to keep track of timesheet entries. If Auditing is enabled, whenever users add, edit or delete entries in the timesheet, Office Timesheets creates a copy of that entry in the auditing database. This copy is called an audit entry and is an identical copy of the original entry. Each audit entry also contains an audit status. The audit status describes the type of change the users make to an entry. For example, Office Timesheets assigns a status of Audit Create for all new audit entries.
There are six audit statuses that Office Timesheets can assign to an audit entry. The six audit statuses are described in the following table:
| Audit Status |
What it means |
When it is used |
| Audit Start |
Indicates the start of audit tracking. |
When the systems administrator enables auditing, Office Timesheets creates an audit entry with an audit status of Audit Start. |
| Audit Stop |
Indicates the end of audit tracking. |
When the systems administrator disables auditing, an audit entry is created with an audit status of Audit Stop. |
| Audit Clear |
Marks the time when the audit track is cleared. |
When the systems administrator clears the auditing track, all audit entries upto the Clear Auditing through date (except for Audit Start, Audit Stop and Audit Clear entries) are deleted from the auditing database, and an audit entry is created in the auditing database with an audit status of Audit Clear. |
| Audit Create |
Indicates the creation of a new entry. |
Whenever a user creates a new entry in the timesheet, Office Timesheets creates a copy of the entry and assigns it an audit status of Audit Create. |
| Audit Change |
Indicates a change to an entry in the timesheet. |
Whenever a user modifies an existing entry in the timesheet, Office Timesheets creates a copy of the changed entry and assigns it an audit status of Audit Change. |
| Audit Delete |
Indicates that an entry has been deleted from the timesheet. |
Whenever a user deletes an entry from the timesheet, Office Timesheets copies the entry to the audit database and assigns it an audit status of Audit Delete. |
