The Additional Information column will contain different data depending upon the transaction type. In the example, “Log In” shows the user name after log in. Database operations show the name of the .IDC file and badge data changes show the Datakey of the record which was changed.
This is a very useful report for finding out which database was open at a particular time. One use of this is to find out the database being reported on in the Database Actions reports.
