The change summary report allows you to view all the changes that were made to binder packages since the last time a revision was made. To generate such a report, you double-click the Change Summary Report folder in the left area of the main Document Binder window. The report shows a list of the instrument tags that were modified and are associated with the specifications in the selected binder packages. For example, in the case of a multi-tag specification, a tag may have been added to the specification, or deleted from it.
If the tag data was modified, the report will display the following:
-
Tag number
-
The column where the change was made
-
The old and new values for the specific column
-
The person who made the change
-
The date of change
The Specification Binder does not support a data comparison between composite specifications.
-
The Change Summary Report uses data stored in the Audit Trail repository, therefore to enable generation of this report, in the Administration Module Domain Definition window, the Domain Administrator must select the Audit trail options check box.
-
If changes were made to the main page of a multi-tag spec, each item in the list will be displayed separately in the report, along with its changes.
-
Before a revision is saved for the first time or if no changes were made to items in the binder package after a certain revision, a report will not be generated.
