Defining sensitive data
Sensitive data are columns for which BIRT Analytics audits all access.
The Sensitive data page allows the administrator to specify which data to audit when tracking user read and update activities. Audit tracking records the following information:
*User who accessed the data
*Date and time the access occurred
*Data read or updated
To specify data for audit, select the following:
*Databases
*Tables
*Columns
The information is recorded in a log file, by default in:
[Installation folder]\BIRTAnalytics\log\electronsensitive.log
In the list of columns, select one or more columns and choose Add to list to move the columns to the list of sensitive columns. In the list of sensitive columns, select one or more columns and choose Remove from list to move a column out of the list of sensitive columns, as shown in Figure 1‑12.

*Select all
Choose Select all to select all columns in the list. Then, choose Add to list or Remove from list to make all columns in a table sensitive or not sensitive.
*Deselect all
Choose Deselect all to remove the selection from all columns in the list. Use this command if you need to discard your selections and start over.
