When running an Audit Trail report and looking under the Application Name column, it shows a MachineTag value along with the application name, such as Laserfiche web client 10.3.1.51. What is the machine tag?

Question
Answer
The Laserfiche server records the client machine and application for each operation. For an application like Web Access, this would mean recording the same values for every user. In an attempt to help distinguish the different end users, Web Access stores a "machine tag" in a cookie and records that value.
Hi Brian,
So you mean that the "Machine Tag" is a random generated unique string saved for each user session? or it is something related to the user's machine itself ? in other words, if same user browse LF through Web Access from the same machine but through different browsers, Audit trails will save different "machine tags" ?
Thanks,
Could someone from Laserfiche please help answer these questions?
It is a random value generated by the application and stored in a cookie. That means that it isn't shared between different browsers (e.g. Firefox and Chrome), and the user has the same control over it that they do over other cookies: with a little knowledge they can delete or edit it.
