Additional information

Additional information for the audit trail can be entered on a symbol. The audit trail uses the options object on the mapped symbol for this. This value is used for the dialog to describe the symbol.

If additional information is saved in the Audit Trail (mapping data), this can also be displayed in the AuditTrail Grid.
