Audit Section

In P6, administrators should have the right to add from the selection of audit tables. There are a bunch that can be added. When they run the audit, it drops a report in the report section. If you have a customer who is interested in using the audit function, you may be able to field some basic questions. If for some reason they can’t see the report output, have them submit a SR. It could be derived from rights in the Organizational Breakdown Structure (OBS) in P6 or a myriad of other sections (UI views, profiles, etc). These are used few and far between, but the one that came up recently for one of mine, was an audit to see who made the changes to the project. Show as the first and only active table.

Can you run batch reports in P6 Professional 15.2?

Yes, you can. The Job Service Server component must be installed to use the Job Services feature. Also, using the Job Services feature requires the appropriate level of security. If a job does not run as scheduled, check with your system administrator. For Batch Reports jobs, click the Job Options tab and add each project/EPS node for which you want to run the batch report. Project batch reports will only run for the project to which they are assigned. To remove a project/EPS node from the job, select it and click Remove. In the Batch Report field, click to select the batch report you want the job service to run. To specify where to send the output of the batch report, click Send Report To.
