Sometimes for documentation purposes, you may need to add comments to an audit log for a specific notification. For example, you may want to log a summary of actions taken to solve a problem or list pending issues for the operators on the next shift. The inserted entries cannot be edited or deleted and they are archived as part of the audit log. Append new item to Audit Log dialog box shows an example.

To add comments:

  1. In the Notification Log Console, right-click a notification.

    The notification shortcut menu appears.

  2. Click Add to Audit Log.

    Note:

    Alternatively, select Event > Add to Audit Log from the console’s menu bar.

    The Append new item to Audit Log dialog box displays.

  3. Type your comments for one entry and click OK. For more than one entry, click Apply after each entry, then click OK when you are finished.

    An alternate method for opening the Append new item to Audit Log dialog box is to open the Notification Properties dialog box.

    To open the Notification Properties dialog box:

  4. In the Notification Log Console, right-click a notification.

    The notification shortcut menu appears.

  5. Click Properties.

    Note:

    Alternatively, select Event > Properties from the console’s menu bar.

  6. Select the Audit Log tab.

  7. Click Add to Audit Log.
