Viewing the history of a term

You can view the changes that have been made to a term since it was created.

About this task

By default, the date and timestamp of the change, who made the change, and any history-related comments are displayed. You can also customize the history table to display the changes made to other properties.

Procedure

  1. If workflow is enabled, click either Glossary Development or Catalog, depending on the catalog that you want to browse. Otherwise, click Catalog.
  2. Click Glossary.
  3. In the Browse list, click Terms.
  4. In the Browse Terms window, select a term, and then click Edit.
  5. Expand History.
  6. To view more rows on the screen at one time without scrolling, select Collapse Rows.
    This enables the browser to display more rows of history, but in some cases, only part of the text in the field will be displayed. If you are already viewing the collapsed table, select Expand Rows to view the full text of all the fields in the table.
  7. To add properties to the history table, select Select a Property to Add to the Table. Then, select the property to add from the pull-down menu. The list contains only those properties that have changed.

    To view the history of properties that are not displayed in the table by default, you must select them each time that you view the history.
