Change History Tracking

The Governance Portal tracks changes and creates an "audit trail" on documents and analysis that is performed in the system. When this feature is turned on, changes made to the attributes section of documentation, analysis and other objects in the Governance Portal is captured in a read-only form called Version History. Information captured includes field name, previous value, new value, modifier and modified date; thus creating a history of changes that have been made in the system.

The change history functionality can be turned off or utilized only in specified areas by the Portal Administrator. See Manage Change Tracking for additional information.
