## About the Transaction Audit Log

The **Transaction Audit** log lists create, update, and delete events that are enabled per business object class. It also allows views of business object details to be logged. View logging is enabled per form or form-view.

## Configuring Transaction Audit Logs

To enable transaction logging, from the Configuration Console, ensure that the following items are set:

| Workspace                       | Set This                                  |
| ------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| The Business Object Detail page | Select **Audit Creates/Updates/Deletes**. |
| The Form Editor                 | Select **Audit Views**.                   |
| Layout FormView Editor          | Select **Enable Object View Auditing**.   |

The **Transaction Audit** log uses three global constants (see [List of Global Constants](docId\:dgB4V84eDR0Axvy7MLnNF)):

- MaxTransactionAuditLogAge
- DisableDataViewLogs
- DisableDataChangeLogs

## About Advanced Search Options

For a description of the saved searches, see [Default Saved Searches](docId\:cwEHowqQ1dyRHV8ZZrNsY).

You can perform an advanced search if you create a relationship using the **FRS\_GlobalAuditLog.ParentLink** field. The following is an example using a relationship to incident.

By default, you can only select audit logs by information collected in the log itself. If you need to select a list of transaction audit logs based on the data of the audited business object beyond the primary identifier of the object (for example, to pull all views of incidents for a specific incident owner or all closed incidents), you can do so by adding a relationship between **FRS\_GlobalAuditLog** and the business object, using the **FRS\_GlobalAuditLog.ParentLink** field.
