Audit Event Type | Notes | Where to find the audit event |
Created | A “Created” event is added when a user creates a new repository object, such as a folder or model. Creating a new configuration, glossary, physical data model, semantic mapping or data mapping also causes a new version of the model to be created. Therefore a “Created” event is created for the new version as well. A “Created” event is also added when a new model version is imported. | History tab of the newly created repository object, i.e. folder, model or version |
A “Created” event is also added when the user creates a new glossary object, such as a term, or a physical data model object, such as schema, table, view, column, or primary key, etc. | History tab of the glossary model or physical data model and History tab of the newly created object | |
A “Created” event is also added when a user creates a new user, group, data class, custom attribute, collection, worksheet or dashboard. | The audit event on the user, group, data class, custom attribute, collection, worksheet or dashboard can be found in the csv file generated by “Download user audit log”. | |
Added child | An “Added child” event is added when a user creates a new repository object, such as folder or model. The newly created folder or model becomes a child of the folder where the new folder or model is placed in. Creating a new configuration, glossary, physical data model, semantic mapping or data mapping, or importing a new model version causes a new version of the object to be created. The new version becomes a child of the model. | History tab of the folder where the new folder or model is placed in and History tab of the model where the new version belongs to |
An “Added child” event is also added when a user moves a repository object such as a folder or model from one folder <f1> to another folder <f2>. The repository object becomes a child of <f2> | History tab of the destination folder <f2> | |
Deleted | A “Deleted” event is added when a user deletes a repository object, such as folder, model or version. | History tab of the folder where the deleted folder or model was in and History tab of the model where the deleted version used to belong to |
A “Deleted” event is also added when the user removes a folder or model from a configuration | The “Deleted” audit event on the configuration can be found in the csv file generated by “Download audit log” which should also be found in the History tab of the configuration version | |
A “Deleted” event is also added when the user deletes a glossary object, such as a term, or a physical data model object, such as schema, table, view, column, or primary key, etc. | History tab of the glossary model or physical data model | |

A “Deleted child” event is also added when a user moves a repository object such as a folder or model from one folder <f1> to another folder <f2>. | History tab of the source folder <f1> | |
Move | A “Move” event is added when a user moves a repository object such as a folder or model from one folder <f1> to another folder <f2>. | History tab of the repository object being moved |
Set Attribute | A “Set attribute” event is added when a user updates an attribute of a repository object, such as folder, model or version. The attribute can be the name, description, import options, naming standards, etc. | History tab of the repository object being updated, i.e. folder, or version |
A “Set attribute” event is also added when the user updates an updatable attribute of a object, such as name, description, and business name etc. | History tab of the object being updated and History tab of the model that the object belongs to | |
