Transaction Audit Log Advanced Search

By default, you can only select audit logs by information collected in the log itself. If you need to select a list of transaction audit logs based on the data of the audited business object beyond the primary identifier of the object (for example, to pull all views of incidents for a specific incident owner or all closed incidents), you can do so by adding a relationship between FRS_GlobalAuditLog and the business object, using the FRS_GlobalAuditLog.ParentLink field.
