Viewing Configuration Changes

A Configuration Change is recorded when a configurable object has been altered. Multiple alterations of a configurable object does not equate to multiple changes being recorded.

For example, if you change the same reason code three separate times, it counts as one change for the time period that it differs from the global configuration. If you change three different reason codes, that would count as three changes.

This feature provides a summary list of configuration changes, who made them, and when they were made. This list is only a "snapshot" of time in which it is called up. When viewing configuration changes, you can delete configuration changes that have not been deployed. See Delete Configuration Changes for more information.
