To Create a Survey Database Change Report

Use the Survey Change Reporting feature to report any changes that are made to a survey database.

When you enable logging in the Survey Database Settings, each time you open the survey database a .log file opens and any changes in the survey database are recorded.

The .log file is located in the project folder and uses the project name by default. The file contains the log events in XML format, but the .log file is not the report. The .log file is formatted based on the Change Reporting settings that are specified in the Survey User Settings. To display the report, you select the Display Change Report command from the survey database on the Survey tab in Toolspace.

  1. In Toolspace, on the Survey tab, click .
  2. In the Survey User Settings dialog box, under the Change Reporting property, specify the Report Style Path and Report Style. The report style is a style sheet (.xsl file) that is used in conjunction with an XML file.
  3. Right-click the database Edit Survey Database Settings. Under the Change Reporting property, select Logging Enabled. This setting is off by default.
  4. Right-click a survey database Display Change Report. The report is generated by reading the .log file and formatted using the Change Report Style (.xsl).
