History

You can view the changes made to an item, allowing you to compare the current and past states of an item.

History tab

A history of changes is stored for items.

To view an item's history:

Open an item in details view.
Select the History tab.

You can filter the history list by user or by field.

Tip: From the grid view, you can right-click an item's field value and select Show <field> in History. The item's History tab opens, focused on changes to the selected field.

Diff viewer

Changes to comments and memo fields, such as Description, are displayed in a diff viewer.

To view long-form text diffs:

Alongside a memo field or comment change, click the View changes link.

The old value and new value are displayed in parallel windows, with highlighted changes.

Note: The way changes for comments are displayed in the History tab depends on the FULL_COMMENTS_HISTORY parameter. For details, see Configuration parameters.

Change sets

Changes are organized by change sets. The change sets are listed chronologically in the History tab displays. A change set includes all the field updates made to the item in the same edit session. Changes made after saving the form are included in a new change set.

Each change set is identified by a timestamp. The change set provides details of the user and a description of the edited fields and their values before and after the changes.

Note:

If a change was made by an API method, the change is attributed to the authenticated user.
If a change was made by a rule, the label (Changed by Rule) is displayed.

Workspace audit

Workspace admins have a global view in which they can audit changes to all the workspace items. For details, see Advanced admin tasks.
