History page

The History page provides an overview of the history of a user or a resource and its children. For examples, it contains all actions related to the following:

  • Creating, editing and deleting resources.
    Note 

    In some cases, an edit is logged as a delete plus a create.
    For example, if you edit a Description attribute of a Data Usage complex relation, the original Description attribute is deleted, and a new Description attribute is created with the new content.

  • Moving assets to a different domain.
  • Adding, editing and removing characteristics.
  • Changes to the asset status.
  • Social features such as comments, tags and ratings.
  • Uploading and deleting attachments.
  • Workflows and the resulting changes.
  • Creating, editing and deleting responsibilities.
    Note 
    • The history does not show changes to inherited responsibilities.
    • The history does not show changes to the view permissions.
  • In the case of the user history, adding and removing the user to or from user groups.

Tip Some actions do not change the last modification date of an asset. See here for actions that do change the last modification date and actions that don't.
