Note:

1) Changes made before December 12th, 2021 will not be shown.

In order to check the history on views, make sure that the Object Viewer is activated, and you will see the name of the view and the history of the view on the right side:

By clicking on the name of your view you will see the following information:

When it was created and by whom
Owner, Status, Type, and Shared with details

Clicking on History will show you the following window:

Refresh

Clicking Refresh will update the information in this window.

Search by period

It is possible to view history for different time periods of time: daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly:

The timeline can also be used to help you find the time period you are looking for faster. By clicking on the orange dot, you can select a date directly from the calendar:

Here are the symbols and their meanings:

Go to the first day of history

Go to the last day of history

There is no history yet

Go one step back

Go one step further

Search bar
Search terms can be entered via the search bar, and the search results can also be filtered via the drop-down menu Widgets and Users. In Widgets, it is possible to filter your search results by turning specific fields on or off. In Users you can, among other things, select specific users or roles to refine your search results:

Widgets

These are the widgets that you can find in the history of the view: Actions, Objects, Relationships, Lines, and Shapes. By collapsing the widget on the right side you can minimize or maximize the display of the widget:

It is possible to track a log of actions for each widget:

Actions:

unshared with
renamed - changed action type
saved as - only on newly created draft's part
published - only on newly created draft's part
officialized - only on newly created draft's part

Objects:

deleted - when a node (object/draft) is removed from the view (every time, even if duplicate)
