What is ‘Extended Logging’?

In the System Parameters tab of the Administration section there is a setting for 'Extended Logging'. What does this setting do?

Thanks - Ron Dovich
Hi Ron,

This includes additional information in the Event log (logged to the Event table as well as standard log files). This may include usernames, data source, view, report or dashboard names and descriptions, depending on the type of event being logged.

If this is turned on, each time these events are logged, Yellowfin looks up the relevant data to supplement the log. This could impact performance on a high volume installation.

Thanks,
Steve
