Security Log

Top  Previous  Next

The Security Log produces a report for a user-specified time frame for certain security "events" that occur within MedSuite.  The purpose of this report is for Management to review to monitor for any security breaches or violations.  Administrator users have access to this report, while other users will receive an error saying they do not have access to run the report.

 

Events that are logged that will show on the Security Log include the following:

NOTE: In an attempt to identify unauthorized users and/or "hackers", MedSuite will capture information about the user for whom the event was logged including the login name used, the Computer Name, I/P Address, the MAC address of the Network Interface Card, the Windows Serial Number, and any other pertinent information that we feel may help positively identify attempts at unauthorized access.  This information will not show on the standard report; in order to see this additional information, the Security Log should be run to Cube.

 

The Security Log request form is a tabbed dialog that consists of a General tab, a Sorting tab, and a Selection tab.  The Sorting options are Date Entered, User and User Type.  Selection options are for Users and User Types.

Sorting Tab

 

The Sorting tab consists of two lists.  The first list is comprised of the available sort fields for the report and the second list is comprised of the fields that have been selected as sort fields.  The fields in the second list may be sequenced in any order.  The report will sort the data into the sequence defined and perform a "break" on the sort field as well.

Right-Arrow Button

Click on item to be selected in the left-hand list and press the right-arrow button.

Drag-and-Drop

Click on the item to be selected in the left-hand list and while holding the mouse button down, "drag" the item to the right-hand list and release the mouse button.

Selection Tab

 

Frequently when a report is run, you only wish to see data meeting certain criteria.  The Selection tab consists of a list of fields they you may use to include or exclude specific data values from the report.  For example, you may wish to run a report for just a certain physician or excluding a certain location.

 

By clicking on the checklist for the appropriate field (physicians, facilities, etc.) you may then select to include or exclude certain values from the respective tables.  The limit to the number of specific values you can select is limited to your ability (or willingness) to enter them.  While there is a theoretical limit to the number of selections you can make, you will run out of patience before MedSuite runs out of room to save them.  Muli-Selections work with standard Windows keyboard functionality.  CTRL+Click to select one at a time, SHIFT+Click to select a range of maintenance files.
