Time Increment

change history timeline1

The system automatically determines how the time line is divided for the selected time increment.

When the range is changed to Past 60 Minutes, the time line changes:

  • The start time is 60 minutes from Now.

  • The end time is when the Most Recent change occurred ( Now ).

  • The time line has four divisions.

If the increment is Past 7 Days, the time line has seven one-day divisions.

Change History Filters

The Change History has records only for an object and its tracked entities, not all entities belonging to the object. You can use filters to view changes to specific objects, the types of changes, and the users how made those changes if they are are tracked.

In this example, instead of selecting View All Changes, you can select specific objects, such as only properties, processes, property sheets, process steps, and process dependencies that have been modified by the Project:Default and Admin users.

change history view some

When the list of filter criteria is long, not all of the criteria may appear in the filter list. To see all of the criteria, use the up or down arrows to see all the options.

This list does not show all of the users. Use the up and down arrows to see all four of the users.
