KM Update 11: Table Audits & Custom Fields

Please take note of the following new and updated help documents now available in the Bluebox Knowledge Base.

July 2012

Let's imagine you have effectively set-up permissions in BB2.0 so that all users only have access to the areas of the system most appropriate to their individual roles and responsibilities. There may well still be an urgent need to track the changes each of those users make to system tables in order to gain an added level of accountability that goes beyond these permission based user groups and accounts. The help articles included in this  month's KM release outline how any table within your BB2.0 system can be enabled for audit tracking, and how to discover exactly which user made which changes to those modules at any given date and time. This allows the ability to trace how any table came to change over time and which users contributed to each of those changes along the way.

Another highlight of this month's release includes an article on how to easily create and make use of custom fields for any of the BB2.0 tables. This allows an enormous amount of flexibility to accommodate those cases where unique information peculiar to your organisation is required to be captured for any module (e.g. 'Favourite Colour' for 'bb_users' form).

Finally, we cover the broken charts issue users have encountered upon updating to PHP3.5, and how to setup your SMS gateway in BB2.0
