View User History
The View User History command allows you to display and then search the history of all audited actions performed by a particular user. This data is stored in your SAP BusinessObjects Audit DB. Access from MetaMiner Server to Audit DB must be configured in advance by your system administrator (see Setting Up Access to SAP BusinessObjects Environment).
To view the user history:
| 1. | In the Content Area, select a user account. |
Warning
You cannot select more than one account. You cannot select user group(s).
| 2. | Choose View User History from the context menu. Note that this action queries the information from the SAP BusinessObjects Audit Database directly, this data is not cached, and this process can take time. Finally, the User History dialog window opens: |
If MetaMiner cannot open any actions performed by the selected user, the No Audited Actions dialog box opens.
| 3. | Browse the audit history. |
Tip
Maximum 1000 rows can be displayed at a time.
| 4. | You can limit the number of rows displayed by using the Quick Search Control (see a figure above). |
| 5. | If you wish to export the information displayed to your local drive, click the Export to CSV  icon. The Export shown items to a CSV file dialog box will be opened. Choose the location and name of your file (for example, user_history_export.csv). Click Export.Example: |
