To retrieve audit records for the child objects, select Include child objects. Depending on what has been configured by your administrator, the following standard operation child objects would be retrieved:
  • Standard operation attachments
  • Standard operation resources, their descriptive flexfields, alternate resources, and attachments

Creation, update, and deletion of standard operation are tracked automatically down to the attributes level. To display updates to the attributes, select Show Attribute Details. The old value and new value are displayed for each update.

Additional contexts are available to uniquely identify a record. To display contexts, select Show additional object identifier columns. There are two contexts available: Organization for Context 1, and Sequence for Context 2, which is the Resource Sequence.

The description of the audit record captures the unique reference for each business object type, whether it is the standard operation header, standard operation resource, standard operation alternate resource, and so on. Specifying a part of the description in the Description search field allows you to search the change history for specific standard operation records that you are interested in.
