Department history
The Web Portal allows you to display historical data of departments.
To do this, you have the following options:
Table 78: Historical data
Events |
Shows all events relating to the department, either on a timeline or in a table (see Displaying department history). |
Status overview |
This shows you an overview of all assignments. It also shows you 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 (see Displaying the status overview of departments). |
Status comparison |
You can select a date and display all the changes made from then until now. This also shows you what the value of the property was at the selected point in time and what the value is now (see Comparing statuses of departments). |
