Change History

Last Revised:  March 26, 2019

The Change History screen displays many of the changes made to an account. All entries to this screen are made automatically by the Permits system.  

The Change History screen shows changes associated with a particular database table, not necessarily with a particular account or permit.  For each table, you are able to choose which pieces of information (for ex., business name, permit ID) for which you want to see changes.

The following user entitlement must be set for each user who needs access to the Change History screen. It is part of the  View_Chngctl_History task.

Users having any job can view this screen. See Tasks, Entitlements, and Jobs for more information.

BLW_CHNGCTL_HISTORY: View and use Change Control History

 

To find the changes made that affected a particular screen in the ACT system:

  1. From the Main Menu, select Inquiry, then Change History, or from the Go To list, click Change Control History.  The Change Control History screen will appear.
  2. Click the Star button  (*) next to the Table Name field, select the database table (roughly associated with one or more Permits screen) for which you wish to view changes, then click OK.
  3. Enter a Start Date and End Date to limit the data. These dates default to Jan. 1, 1900 and the current date, respectively.
  4. Enter search criteria in the fields that appear under the Table Name. These vary depending on the table selected.
  5. Click Search to see the requested change information in the bottom portion of the screen.

The data is sorted by fee type. The Row Identification field on the Before Value column shows what was in the Permits system just before the change was made; the After Value column displays what the new information is.  The Change Date shows when the change was made.  The Change Control Operator is the person who performed the change. The Column Name column indicates the piece of data that was changed.
