Managing Activity on an Object (Micro Level)
You can view the details of the modifications performed on an object.
In the activity feed of an object you can:
• view the activity on the object
Deleting an object from the repository is not tracked on the activity feed of an object to which it is connected.
Only disconnecting (removing without deleting from the repository) is tracked on this object.
Examples of deleted objects: object, tag, external reference, diagram.
• modify the activity feed display granularity
E.g.: the last 24 hours, the last 7 days (by default), the last 30 days, the last year, or a specific period defined by two dates.
• compare the modifications performed (before/after) on the attributes or on the links
Accessing the activity on an object
In the Activity feed on an object, modifications appear in chronological order (with the most recent at the top) and by user, and according to the defined granularity (the last 7 days by default).
The modifications of a user are grouped together over one hour. The time indicated is the time of the last modification performed within this hour.
E.g.: a user performed several modifications on an object between 6 pm and 7 pm. These modifications are grouped together into the same activity item at 6:14 pm (last modification time).
Each modification details:
• the name of the person who performed the update(s)
• the type of action carried out on the object
• the number of actions per action type
• the attributes or links concerned by each modification
To access the activity on an object:
1. Access the object properties.
2. Display its Activity Feed page.
Modifications performed on the object are displayed chronologically, by user, over the “Last 7 days” (by default) period.
3. (If needed) In the granularity drop-down menu, select another granularity for the object activity feed display.
To define a customized granularity, , select the “Custom” value and use the calendars to define the
Start Date and
End Date, then click

.
The modification display is automatically updated according to the new granularity.
4. (optional) Compare the attribute/link values modified on the object.
