2.7. Appendix D: Configuring auditing on a SharePoint list or document library

When configuring the inputs for LOGbinder, LOGbinder will adjust the audit settings for the SharePoint site collection. At times, though, it is necessary to have more granular control on the settings. For example, a SharePoint document library may have confidential information, and it is desired to audit who is viewing these documents. Auditing view access for the entire site collection would result in a flood of audit entries that are not needed. The solution is to adjust the auditing of SharePoint lists and document libraries. To do this:

• In the LOGbinder control panel, set the audit policy you want enabled across the entire site collection.
• To change the audit policy for a certain document library or list, go to its settings page and click the link “Information management policy settings” under “Permissions and Management.”
• Select a content type (if applicable), and go to the “Auditing” section and configure the audit policy.
• Save your changes, and SharePoint will begin auditing that list/library according to the settings you specify. LOGbinder for SharePoint will include these audit events when it processes the site collection.
