Q14847 - INFO: Audit Timestamp Method General Setting

Audit Timestamp Method General Setting specifies how WIMS sets audittimestamps

General Settings are set in Admin Console

NOW: This method calculates the difference between the PC (running the WIMS client) time and the SQL Server time (using GETDATE() ) when logging in.  The Audittimestamp is then calculated by getting the PC's time +- this difference each time an audittimestamp is needed.  This avoids a call to SQL Server and speeds up processing.  NOW is the default.

SQL: Uses the SQL GETDATE() function to get the auditimestamp. 

NOTE: Audit timestamps are stored in the SQL Server's time.
