History dialog items
Changes display in the following columns:
| ID | Displays an ID code for the change. |
| Date/Time (UTC) | Displays the date and time at which the change was made. |
| User | Displays the email address of the user who made the change. Note: If the change is made via the Administration console (such as to add or delete other users), the User cell in the History dialog is empty but the exported history file displays <system user>. |
| Description | Displays the details of the changes. |
| Security Change | Displays changes made to an access driver. Changes display as Yes if you enable or disable an access driver, or apply an access driver to a line item in the Read Access Driver or Write Access Driver columns in Blueprint. |
| Previous Value | Displays the element name or value before the change, such as a previous value of a cell. Note: For both model and cell History, previous values don't display in a bulk data change. |
| New Value | Displays the element name or value after the change, such as a new list item. Note: For model History, new values don't display in a bulk data change. To display new values from a bulk data change, you can view cell history. |
| Module/List | Displays the module or list affected by the change. |
| Line Item/Property | Displays the line item or list property affected by the change. |
| Export | Displays the file name of an export. |
| Import | Displays the file name of an import. |
| Dashboard | Displays the dashboard affected by the change. |
| Target User | Displays the email address of the user affected by the change. |
| Time | Displays the time period affected by the change. |
| Version | Displays the version affected by the change. |
If multiple dimensions are affected by a change, each dimension appears as a new column in the History dialog. For example, if you change the value of a line item in a cell that references lists, each list displays in separate columns.
Note: You can only view up to 1000 model changes in the History dialog. If the number of changes are more than 1000, only the most recent 1000 changes display. To see all the changes, select Export to download the full list as a text (.txt) file.
Description column
The Description column in the History dialog details specific changes to your model. Details display in this column if you add, edit, rename, or delete an element in your model.
For example, Add Line Item or Delete Module.
Other changes in the Description column include:
| Bulk data change | Displays for any large change to cell data. For example, when you import into many cells in a line item. |
| Bulk data change (add-in) | Displays if you use a read/write connection to update data from the Excel Add-in or the Google Sheets Add-on. |
| Bulk Model Change | Displays when there's a change that does not affect the model structure. For example, when single-sign on (SSO) or workspace administrator status changes for a user. |
| Model change (no details available) | Displays if you change:
|
| Breakback data change affecting [x] cells | Displays the number of cells affected by Breakback. |
| Begin sync revision | Displays when an Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) synchronization starts. |
| Sync revision completed | Displays when an ALM synchronization is complete. |
