Added Audit Workflow

  • A new workflow has been added called Audit Work Items that enables system administrators to automatically flag reports for auditor approval. When flagged, then executed via the scheduler, reports are saved to a binary file enabling auditors to review reports at any time regardless of the log entry retention policy. Auditors can flag log entries and accept and reject reports. Auditors and system administrators can also write unlimited comments with date, time and author fields.
