I want to check whether there is a way to trace the creation, moving and deletion in the editing session by windows currently logged in user. What I only know now is how to trace the creation/moving/deletion events by database user and displayed in attribute table of the layers under the monitoring.

I am using ArcMap 10.2.2.

You should be able to do this through editor tracking:

For file and personal geodatabases edited with ArcGIS for Desktop clients, and ArcSDE geodatabases you connect to through operating system authentication, the user name written is the operating system [in your case Windows] login.

It sounds like you have previously been using this from the same Help page:

For ArcSDE geodatabases you connect to through database authentication, the user name is the name you use to connect to the geodatabase.

  • Thanks PolyGeo, yes I used the same help page. I am so stupid haven't realized it is based on the connection to the sde. Have tested on it and it works.

  • Hi PolyGeo, another thing to confirm with you: by using the editor tracking, it seems only the latest action on an object can be displayed. Is there any means to record down all the actions? thanks.

  • @ppLily Whenever you have follow up questions to your original one our focussed Q&A format works best if you research/ask them separately. What you are asking is not something that I have done and my first thought is that you may need geodatabase versioning for that.
