View a Record's Change History

If enabled in Options, PCS keeps a log of all changes made to PCS data. Any additions, modifications, and deletions of data are stored, as well as additional information about the data change, such as who made the change, what tool was used to make the change, when the change was made, and what the data was before the change. If enabled, additions and modifications of individual records can be viewed by any user from within PCS, and all changes can be reviewed by anyone with permissions to the database.

To enable change tracking, refer to Setting Editing Options and Setting Properties in Field and UDF Customizations in PCS Set Up. For more information about the configuration, benefits, and use of change logging, refer to Tracking Data Changes in Database Management.
