Alerts, Audit, and Timeout Columns

These columns display values that have been explicitly set for an application. If a
setting has not been changed for an application, the column is empty. For
example, if auditing has been enabled for the bliff application, but no changes
have been made to the alert or to the timeout settings, the value on is displayed in
the Audit column, but the Alert and Timeout columns are blank.

Options Column

This column can contain fields if there are other settings that have been made for
the chosen application.
