Viewing Transaction Histories on the MIDM

Using the Transactions 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. You can access the transaction history for a profile from the Record Details page, or you can access transaction histories for one or more profiles from the Transactions page.

When you display a transaction history from the Record Details page, all of the transactions for the displayed object profile appear in chronological order, with the earliest transaction on the left and the most recent transaction on the right. When you display a transaction history record from the Transactions page, the image of the profile as it was prior to the transaction appears on the left side of the comparison page. The image on the right reflects the object’s information after the transaction occurred.

To View a Complete Transaction History For an Object Profile

1. Perform a search for the object profile whose history you want to view using one of the search procedures described in Searching for Object Profiles on the MIDM.

2. If necessary, select the profile to view from the search results list.

   The profile appears on the Record Details page.

3. Scroll to the bottom of the displayed SBR, and then click View History.

   A history of all transactions performed against the object profile appears.

To View Transaction History Records from the Transactions Page
