A journal feature for a single property is available since version 2.2.1. UBIK® logs changes of property values in the system and provides a mechanism to evaluate information about
- the user changing a property value
- the timestamp the property value has changed
The journal feature can be activated for each single MetaProperty, see (Activate Logging of PropertyValues).
 | Once the logging is activated, every change on the property will be logged in the database |
Journal
It is possible to see a list of all changes (per property) by using the Object Explorer. By exploring an instance it is possible to browse through all its properties. If the journal feature is activated, a list of all changes made to a property value can be shown:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| ChangeLogs | Displays a collection of all logged changes of the current property |
| LastChange | Displays the very last change (on the timeline) that were made for the current property |
| UTS | If the logging is activated, it shows to see the time stamp of the last change for the current property. If not activated, it shows the creation time stamp of the object. |
| ValueChangeLogActive | Indicates whether the logging is activated for the current property |
