Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress Dynamics Administration

Adding generic database comments and auditing

Progress Dynamics provides built-in support for generic commenting and auditing on database records and transactions. Both the Generic Comments and Auditing features are available to any user, by default, on the Progress Dynamics browser toolbar (and control window File menu). Using the Comments feature, users can add their own comments to any record that they select in a browse, and specify additional options for how their comments are handled by Progress Dynamics. Using the Auditing feature, users can display any audit records that have been generated from transactions on the selected browse record. As with any Progress Dynamics application function, you can create security restrictions to prevent certain users from accessing either feature.

The following sections provide more information on these features of the Progress Dynamics UI, including how to use them and make them available to application users.
