GuyInACube -

Thanks.  And, I agree w/ your logic.  The dashboard or report is an object unto itself - and technically, it was viewed by Suzy in this hypothetical situation.  So, fair to have an audit entry for it.

 

But, you can see the challenge at an enterprise level.

 

I'll add some ideas to the idea link you provided:

 

* Perhaps the audit log should be at the object level, not the container level.

* If the log continues to audit at the dashboard/report level; then perhaps there should be a 'result' (exit) code:  E.g:

- 1 = All objects rendered w/o Error

- 2 = Full/Partial Object-Render Errors on Report or Dashboard

 

 

-Eric.

I understand the confusion and realize that some may see a failure in a visual as a failure to load the dashboard. I don't know that not logging the view dashboard is the right approach though (mainly for my example of a mixed dashboard).
