Viewing change reports

Change reports display details of content added to and removed from an item each time it is saved. These reports can help you determine the specific changes made to an item over time.

Change reports are only available if:

  • The Enable historical item information logging and Enable detailed audit trail logging project options are enabled for the item type. See Setting item compliance project options.
  • The item was modified in Helix ALM (or TestTrack 2011 - 2016.1).

1. Click the History tab when you are viewing or editing an item. See Viewing item history.

2. Click a link in the Date column to view the report for the entry. To view changes for multiple entries, Ctrl+click each entry and click View Changes.

The change report opens. Content added to the item is displayed in green text and removed content is displayed in red strikethrough text. The electronic signature is also displayed if a change was made and signed in Helix ALM (or TestTrack 2012 -2016.1) and you have permission to view the audit log. Change reports are not available for duplicated items, which are displayed in gray.

You can change the added and removed text color and format in user options. See Setting differences display options.
