History Item Details

Details of a history item are displayed on the History Details dialog box. If the target attribute is single-valued, the old and new values of the attribute are shown. For multi-valued attributes, the lists of added items and removed items are displayed.

Information includes:

  • Attribute Modified - The name of the target attribute.
  • Object Name - The name of the GroupID function this history item pertains to. For example, if it pertains to a workflow, the name of the workflow is displayed here.
  • Who - The name of the user who performed the action.
  • Where - The name of the computer the action was performed on.
  • When - The date and time of the action.

The following lists are available when the target attribute is multi-valued:

  • Added Item - A list of values that were added to the multi-value attribute.
  • Removed Items - A list of values that were removed from the multi-value attribute.

The following lists are available when the target attribute is single-valued:

  • Old Value - The value before the action was performed.
  • New Value - The value after the action was performed.

Annotate History Items​

GroupID enables a user to add notes to history actions that he or she performed. A note may explain the reason for an action, such as why he or she changed the security type for a group. Only the user who added a note can update it. Other users can view it, but they cannot edit it or add comments.

On the History Details dialog box, one of the following is available to you:

  • The Add Note button - When you are the user who performed the action that logged this history item, and you haven’t added any note yet.
  • The Save Note button - When you are the user who performed the action that logged this history item and you have already added a note.
  • The note text - When the user who performed the action has added a note.
  • None of the above - When you are not the user who performed the action and the user performing the action has not added any note.

Add a Note​

Notes can be added to history items logged for an identity store. Only the user (i.e., the doer of the action) can add and update notes.

To add a note:

  1. Click Add Note to add a note to the history item. The Note text box is displayed.
  2. Type a note for the history item. Your note can have a maximum of 500 characters.
  3. Click Save Note. On the History page, the annotated item is displayed with a View Note button next to it. This helps distinguish annotated items from non-annotated items.

Edit a Note​

  1. On the History Details dialog box, the Note box displays your note for the history item. Make the required changes to the text.
  2. Click Save Note.

Remove a Note​

On the History Details dialog box, the Note box displays your note. Remove it and click Save Note.
