Viewing a Profile's Transaction History on the EDM

Using the History function, you can view historical information for a specific object, and compare the object’s profile before and after a specific transaction occurred to determine what information was modified as a result of the transaction. The Transaction History page contains an EUID tree for the before image and one for the after image. From the EUID trees you can specify the type of information to view and whether to view SBR or system record information.

The image on the left side of the Transaction History Comparison page reflects the object’s information before the transaction occurred. The image on the right reflects the object’s information after the transaction occurred. If the displayed record has no historical data, then the message “There is nothing to show in this area.” appears in the left side of the page.

In addition to the instructions given here, you can also access a transaction history by performing a search for an object profile, displaying the profile on the View/Edit page, and then clicking Transaction History.

3. Select History Search from the Search Types drop-down list.

4. Do one of the following:

   • To search for a record by system and local ID, enter the system and local ID in the upper section of the window and then click Lookup EUID.

     If an EUID is found, it is populated into the EUID field in the Search Criteria section.

   • To search by EUID or transactional information, enter the search criteria for the object you want to view (for more information, see About Transaction History Search Fields on the EDM).

5. On the Transaction History Search page, click Search.

   If more than one transaction matches the search, the Transaction History Result page appears with a list of matching profiles (for more information, see About Transaction History Results Fields on the EDM).

   Note –

   If an asterisk appears next to a transaction, it means the transaction history cannot be accessed.

   The Transaction History Comparison page appears, displaying information in the SBR with any differences between the before and after image highlighted in blue.

7. Select the type of information you want to view from the EUID trees on both sides of the page (for more information, review the instructions under Viewing Object Profiles on the EDM).

   ---

   Note –

   If you select different types of information from the two sides, differences are not highlighted (for example, if you view SBR address data on one side and system record address data on the other side; or if you view SBR address data on one side and SBR phone data on the other).

   • Select the first EUID to view the before image of the surviving profile.

   • Select the second EUID to view the before image of the non-surviving profile.
