Change Log Window (for Entire Analysis)

The Change Log window allows you to view the change log details for the entire analysis. This includes the version history details and the specific changes that were made to the analysis. The window also allows authorized users to activate and configure the Change Log for an analysis.

If a change log does not yet exist for an FMEA or DVP&R, an authorized user can choose [FMEA/DVP&R] > Change Log > Activate Change Log to open the FMEA Change Log window and active the change log. Once a change log is active, any user can open the window by choosing [FMEA/DVP&R] > Change Log > View Change Log.

The Change Log window is divided into three main areas:

Change Log Activation Area

The Change Log Activation area shows the date and time that the change log was activated, along with the name of the authorized user who activated the change log. In addition, authorized users can use the following options to configure the change log. For standard databases with login security enabled and for enterprise databases, the authorized users are the project owner and users with the "Manage all projects" permission. For Standard databases without login security enabled, every user is an authorized user.

Version History Table

The Version History table provides an at-a-glance display of the details for all versions of the analysis since the change log was activated (i.e., the "original" version and each subsequent revision).

If the electronic approval tracking option is being used, then the Version History table will display four additional columns.

In addition, this area of the window contains the Start Revision, End Revision and Edit Details buttons, which can be used by authorized users to manage revisions, and the Approve Version button, which allows an assigned approver to electronically sign off on a revision.

Change Log Table

The Change Log table displays all modifications that were made to the analysis after the change log was activated. The change log records details of each modification at the time it is made, including:

Note: As you can change multiple properties at the same time, (e.g., for a cause record, you can modify the Initial Occurrence and Initial Detection values at the same time), each change to a property is listed separately. Also, if the Require reason for change check box was selected when the change was made, the same "Reason for Change" text displays for each property.

Filters at the bottom of the Change Log table allow you to view only those changes that fit the criteria you specify. These filters include:

Clicking the Remove Filters button returns the Change Log table to the normal view in which all records are displayed. You can sort the log by any column by clicking the column header.

Exporting the Change Log

Any user can use the two buttons at the bottom of the window to export the Version History table and the Change Log table to Excel spreadsheets. Click the Export Version History button to export all of the data in the Version History table. Click the Export Change Log button to export all of the data currently displayed in the Change Log table based on the filter settings you set.
