| **Parameter** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| Default audit comment | Specifies a default comment for metadata auditing<br>If both a default comment and a default reason are defined, changes are logged in the background and no dialog box is displayed. |
| Default audit reason | Specifies a default reason for metadata auditing |
