Why doesn't it audit on uploaded documents?

So, you could easily filter by only the last month.</p> <p>Laura </p> eric on "Reports for Document Libraries" http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/reports-for-document-libraries#post-5583 Wed, 01 Apr 2009 10:52:14 +0000 eric 5583@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <p>In Central Admin, you enable usage analysis processing in the logging and reporting secion in Operations.</p> <p>Then you enable auditing on the particular site collection. This requires you to be a site collection administrator. You can configure it to track the following:<br /> Opening or downloading documents, viewing items in lists, or viewing item properties<br /> Editing items<br /> Checking out or checking in items<br /> Moving or copying items to another location in the site<br /> Deleting or restoring items<br /> Editing content types and columns<br /> Searching site content<br /> Editing users and permissions </p> <p>Then you can run reports based off this information that it gathers for specific timeframes or by certain people.</p> <p>It may be of use for you to investigate. </p> Pelica on "Reports for Document Libraries" http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/reports-for-document-libraries#post-5581 Wed, 01 Apr 2009 10:31:55 +0000 Pelica 5581@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <p>I haven't used that before.

It would not be too complex but you need someone with programming skills. </p> Pelica on "Reports for Document Libraries" http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/reports-for-document-libraries#post-5552 Tue, 31 Mar 2009 18:04:15 +0000 Pelica 5552@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <p>Hi Laura,<br /> Great blog, but I don't think those ideas will work. "Relevant Documents" can't apply because they can be uploaded, edited, and checked out to any of a couple hundred users. "Content Query Web Part" is problematical because he only wants a month at a time and only those that have either been uploaded or changed in that one month. Plus, we already have a couple of doclibs with multiple content types already. The last one is interesting, but again, it's got to be limited to a month. My solution is either an RSS Feed, but that doesn't show enough details, or that he goes and looks at the modified column...but...he wants a report.</p> <p> Thanks again! </p> laura67 on "Reports for Document Libraries" http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/reports-for-document-libraries#post-5551 Tue, 31 Mar 2009 17:55:49 +0000 laura67 5551@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <p>You can read my blog entry and see if it helps you:</p> <p><a href="http://spinsiders.com/laurar/2009/01/29/ways-to-display-multiple-document-libraries/" rel="nofollow">http://spinsiders.com/laurar/2009/01/29/ways-to-display-multiple-document-libraries/</a></p> <p>Laura Rogers<br /> <a href="http://spinsiders.com/laurar" rel="nofollow">http://spinsiders.com/laurar</a> </p> Pelica on "Reports for Document Libraries" http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/reports-for-document-libraries#post-5550 Tue, 31 Mar 2009 17:23:59 +0000 Pelica 5550@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <p>I have a very strict Compliance Department here that wants a monthly report that shows every upload or new document added to each and every document library on our website. Is there a (fairly) easy way of generating this report without going from doclib to doclib? The dept would prefer monthly reports as opposed to weekly alerts. </p> <p>Any thoughts? </p>
