To open the History – Cost center page go to Responsibilities > Auditing > Cost centers > Show details > History.

On the History – Cost center page, you can see all the changes made to the cost center (see Cost center history).

The information is divided out on to three tabs:

• Events: Shows all the events, which affect a cost center, either on a timeline or in a table.

  TIP: To navigate along the timeline, click in the pane and move the mouse left or right whilst holding down the left button.

  To zoom in or out, turn the mouse wheel.

• Status overview: Shows an overview of all assignments. It also shows how long each change was valid for. Use the status overview to track when changes were made and by whom. This way, you not only see the initial and current status but you also see all the steps in between.

• Status comparison: You can select a date and display all the changes made from then until now. You can also show what the value of the property was at the selected point in time and what the value is now.

The following tables give you an overview of the different functions and content on the History – Cost center page.
