About this page

This page provides an overview of the RME tables for reference. Tables cannot be modified or deleted. New tables will be added automatically when created in the database. This page used to be called 'RME Data Dictionary' and may display as such if this is saved in your database.

You can enable or disable auditing for a particular table. Some are enabled by default. Enabling table auditing will create a copy of a record or related item prior to any change which can be used in reports.

If enabling auditing for a table, the auditing function also needs to be enabled in RME > System > System Preferences > System > Audit Settings.   As a minimum, Audit record create/update/delete? must be Yes. By default, this is set to Yes. Other settings can be enabled to capture when a record, eForm, or report is viewed, when a workflow action is performed for an eForm, and common browsers used. See: Audit Settings

The Audit Details button on the core record toolbar displays by default regardless of the Audit enabled? setting for a table. When the toolbar option is clicked, the popup displays details about changes to the record including who created it and when, and who last changed it and when.

You can create custom fields for the following tables only:

        RM_PROJECT for the Projects module

        RM_ETHICS for the Ethics module

        RM PUBLICATION for the Research Outputs module

        RM_PERSON for the Personnel module

Reporting is not available for this area so the Reports button does not display on the toolbar.

Menu path: RME > System > Table Auditing
