Note: Detailed audit recording will not begin
until the Director server has been restarted

server is running, shut down and restart it
(keypad/folder symbol near the right-hand

In these screens, an “Operator Log”
selection has been added. This pertains
to the detailed user and operator audits
that are logged if this feature is enabled
under “[Management], Reporting”.
[Reports], Audit Reports
For an audit report, if you select: “Log
Type: Operator”, and “Show
Transaction Details (), changes to
operators and users will be detailed in
the report showing field settings “before”
and “after” each change was made.
This is supported only if enabled under:
“[Management], Reporting”.
Director-Server Language
Some of the detailed audit text comes
from the Director software, and some
comes through the Director-server. The
Director-server typically shows text in
the language of the last operator who
was logged in. If you are finding that
some of the text is not appearing in the
same language as the Director software,
you can force the Director server to use
a specific language.
(Right-click the Director-Server
keypad/folder icon near the right-hand
end of the Windows taskbar, and make
your selection under “Language”. )
