Edit History

An Editor Client workflow, titled Edit History, is available to users out-of-the-box (OOTB), and tracks the addition of new features, updates to existing features, and deletions. The benefit of the workflow button is that it offers an easily readable list of all changes made within each individual session. Before this workflow is available to users, administrators should refer to the following topics to create a new Business Administrator role: Group Membership, and Client Configuration Mapping. The Edit History workflow requires this Business Administrator role.

To use this workflow, administrators need to work with their implementation team to enable functionality contained within the Edit History workflow. This functionality can be enabled for the entire tenant, or can be limited to particular users.

Administrators can locate this workflow within Solution Center. Click on the Workflows plugin. Select the Default Workflow Studio tab, and click on the Editor Client subtab. Using the workflow drop-down list, select Session Details.

If your implementation team has enabled this workflow, clicking the Edit History button might return results similar to the example below. Permitted users see a list of changes that are contained within the session. Notice the session contains a pole removal, updates to pole attributes, and a new pole placed.
