Which columns are used for auditing in Orbeon 4.4

javaudvikling
Hi,

At the following link regarding auditing http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/developer-guide/form-runner/auditing, Orbeon stated following:
    - created tells you when given the data (e.g. attachment to a form for the orbeon_form_data_attach).
    - last_modified tells you when the data was last changed.
    - username tells you who did that change.
    - deleted tells you if the data is marked as deleted, and hence invisible to users.

With Orbeon 4.4 release a two columns are introduced "last_modified_by and last_modified_time".
I can see that "last modified" has changed to "last modified time", but what is the different between "username" and "last_modified_by" regarding audit. Does these two columns contains the same value or are they different?

They are different:

- last_modified_by (which goes along last_modified_time) is the username of the person who did that change.
- username (which goes along groupname) is the username of the person who "owns" the data (i.e. who initially created the data.

When the data is created, username and last_modified_by will be the same. But as the data gets modified, the owner stays the same (username / groupname are copied along, as created), but last_modified_by could change. Does this make sense?
