Object Key is: The Object Key is not required. You may use it to search for a specific customer, service, order or feature. - Account Number when the Object Type = Customer - Service Number when the Object Type = Service - Order ID when the Object Type = Order - Feature ID (NonUsgSvcID) when the Object Type = Feature - **Include Child Objects**: This check box is only enabled when you select an Object Type of Customer, Feature or Service. This provides similar functionality to the Event Log Search in IDI Desktop Client when you uncheck the Requires Exact Match property on the search. - If checked when Object Type = Customer, the search returns audit log records for the customer, as well as the services, features, contacts and other related entries for the customer. - If checked when Object Type = Service, the search returns audit log records for the service, as well as the features on the service. - If checked when Object Type = Feature, the search returns audit log records for the feature, plus in the case of a package, the records for the items in the package. Other than Object Type and Dates, the search criteria is not validated, meaning you can enter any value in the criteria. #### Search Results Results are displayed in a grid. Options to view related entries and view audit log details for a specific entry are provided at the far right. **Show Picture** ![UG template for Help](https://cdn.us.document360.io/3f7f8ade-bcb1-4ec8-af25-0c0ad8601afb/Images/Documentation/82828.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-14T10%3A58%3A33Z&se=2026-11-14T11%3A58%3A33Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=iYWOO6TtPkG0yQ3EnOLjZQZvq0ljYp%2FT9q3varHEyGE%3D) Related Logs - ![UG template for Help](https://cdn.us.document360.io/3f7f8ade-bcb1-4ec8-af25-0c0ad8601afb/Images/Documentation/82829.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-14T10%3A58%3A33Z&se=2026-11-14T11%3A58%3A33Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=iYWOO6TtPkG0yQ3EnOLjZQZvq0ljYp%2FT9q3varHEyGE%3D) Audit Log Details - ![UG template for Help](https://cdn.us.document360.io/3f7f8ade-bcb1-4ec8-af25-0c0ad8601afb/Images/Documentation/82830.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-14T10%3A58%3A33Z&se=2026-11-14T11%3A58%3A33Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=iYWOO6TtPkG0yQ3EnOLjZQZvq0ljYp%2FT9q3varHEyGE%3D) For more, see: - **Viewing Related Entries** Clicking the View Related Entries icon (![UG template for Help](https://cdn.us.document360.io/3f7f8ade-bcb1-4ec8-af25-0c0ad8601afb/Images/Documentation/82829.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-14T10%3A58%3A33Z&se=2026-11-14T11%3A58%3A33Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=iYWOO6TtPkG0yQ3EnOLjZQZvq0ljYp%2FT9q3varHEyGE%3D)) displays all entries for the event tree (all audit log records with the same value in the TreeNodeID field) of the record selected.
