Change Log Window (for Entire Analysis)

To create and activate a change log for an FMEAtest plan, DVP&R, control plan or P-Diagram, choose [FMEA/Test Plan/DVP&R/Control Plan/P-Diagram] > Change Log > Activate Change Log. (In a secure database, this is available only to the project owner and users with the applicable change log-related permissions.)

           

Once a change log is active, any project user can open the window by choosing [FMEA/Test Plan/DVP&R/Control Plan/P-Diagram] > Change Log > View Change Log.

           

Change Log Activation

The Change Log Activation area shows the date and time that the change log was activated, along with the name of the user who activated it.

Version History

The Version History area allows you to start and end revisions, and also manage electronic approval tracking, if applicable. The current version status is displayed in this area, above the table. The table displays the following:

If the electronic approval tracking option is being used, the table will also display information about the reviewer(s) who electronically "signed off" on each version.

Change Log

The Change Log table displays all modifications that were made to the analysis after the change log was activated.

Note: Because you can change multiple properties at the same time, each change to a property is listed separately. However, if the Require reason for change check box was selected when the changes were made, the same "Reason for Change" text displays for each property.

You can use filters at the bottom of the window to limit the list of changes displayed in the table. Click Remove Filters to show all records.

Click the Export Version History or Export Change Log buttons to send the data to an Excel spreadsheet.
