Transaction History Report The Transaction History Report lets administrators display and review all Web site transactions. The activities for each visitor can be logged and reviewed. As users navigate through the site, QAD CSS captures session information such as: • The pages visited • The duration of the visit on each page • Page/form information • HTML information passed from page to page This report also lets administrators purge selected transactions from the transaction table to manage table and database size. The data for this report comes from the QAD CSS Transaction table. Transaction logging is controlled from the System Control Maintenance screen. Important: Transaction logging creates a large volume of records in the Transaction table. This consumes disk resources if not maintained. Make sure to periodically purge old transaction entries by deleting records from the Transaction table when running this function. Clicking the Transaction Report menu option displays the screen in Transaction History Report Request Screen. Transaction History Report Request Screen The Transaction History Report request screen lets users find orders using transaction date, user ID, customer ID, and session ID searches. Search results will only show the orders matching the search criteria. 1 Enter a valid date range or use the calendar browse to find a date range. 2 Enter a valid user ID to limit the report to transactions for that user only. 3 Enter a valid customer number to limit the report to transactions for that customer only. 4 Indicate whether to show session information for the transactions. Select the Show Session Record option when you want to display the values stored in the session record at the time the page was requested. 5 Indicate whether to show session variable information of the transactions. Select the Show Session Variable option when you want to display the values of all the HTML form fields. 6 Indicate whether to delete the transactions no longer needed. Select the Delete Transactions Found option when you want to delete the transactions shown on the report. Important: If selection criteria are not specified, the system deletes all transactions when this option is selected. 7 Select the Sort By method for the report. 8 Click Submit to generate the report according to the selection criteria. Transactions Report Report Links The Transaction report provides a transaction number link to view complete details about the transaction. Clicking this link displays the session record and session variables and thus is useful when the report is run without details.
