ComplianceBuilder File Features

File Change Notifications occur whenever a file is added, modified or deleted in a managed directory. CB / File then issue a notification that pops up in the CB Agent window on a designated user's workstation. You can specify whether notification sign-off is required, and how long CB / File should wait before it “times out” an unacknowledged notification.

Browse Folders using your designated file-based systems for file changes: adds, deletes and modifications. Upon detecting a file change, CB / File stores the file version in a secure Data Repository. You have complete flexibility in setting up your “Managed Folders” file-monitoring program: by specific directory, by workstation or file server, or by file type. CB / File’s Folder Manager page displays managed files and file versions in a Windows-like hierarchy. You can view or download any file, display file attributes, or run the File Compare option.

File Compare You just choose the two files you want to compare, and CB / File will generate a comparison report highlighting the files’ differences. The File Compare feature are available for Microsoft Excel and Word, and for any text file. Additional application-specific plug-ins can be developed and delivered to suit your specific requirements.

File Audit Trail Report displays file changes in managed directories according to your report selection criteria: by folder, file name(s), sign-off workstation or a date/time range.

Application Security and Data Integrity provides a mechanism for configuring special links that enable file access protection. The Application Security feature can deny direct user access to application files while still allowing the applications themselves to have file access. For example, you can permit Windows applications to write data to specific text files or Access databases, but deny or limit direct user access to those files. With authenticated logons, users may access selected applications and perform file maintenance.

Note: You can restrict user access to pre-defined Windows application files while permitting selected users to access the application after providing authenticated login credentials.
