The [https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DMNC/pages/2050556037](https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DMNC/pages/2050556037) and [https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/UMNC/pages/2010185729](https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/UMNC/pages/2010185729) keep a record of any changes made. ## Using Default values You can use temporary or permanent default reasons and comments to prevent the auditing popup dialog from appearing. - To use a temporary default value, enter a reason and comment when the dialog box first pops up and select the **Remember for 5 minutes** checkbox. The reason and comment you entered will be used as the default unless you make no changes for more than five minutes. - To set permanent default reasons and comments, set the *Default audit reason* and *Default audit comment* parameters. See [Auditing Parameters](https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CFGNC/pages/2002026585) for more information. ---
