Timelines

In the “Timeline” app you can call up the change history for individual products. The table shows history data for events such as adding, editing or deleting attributes, texts, digital assets or prices.

The following section is version-specific. Use the dropdown menu to show the content for the respective version.

Using the product search you can call up the change history for an indidual product. Among other things you can set how far the displayed data goes back. In order to use the product search, proceed as follows:

1. Possibly enter a product number in the "Product number" field .*
2. Possibly tick the "Deleted product" checkbox so that also deleted products are captured by the search. This applies to products that were deleted from the database. In this case, the auditlog table is searched.
3. Possible enter an item number in the "Item number" field .*
4. Possibly select a select a period in the most recent past that is to be observed. To do so, tick the appropriate radio button .
5. Possibly specify a start date for the time period to be observed. To do so, click on the  button in the "Start date" field  and select a date from the datepicker menu.
6. Possibly specify an end date for the time period to be observed. To do so, click on the button in the "End date" field and select a date from the datepicker menu.
7. Possibly select a product data type from the "Scope" menu . 
8. Possibly select a transaction type from the "Transaction type" menu .

9. Possibly enter an entity ID in the "Entity ID" field . These are the IDs from the Postgres table.

  Once the search was executed, all the entries in the change history which were captured by the search are shown in the "Timeline" table.

Using the product search you can call up the change history for an indidual product, whereby you can set how far the displayed data goes back. In order to use the product search, proceed as follows:

1. Enter a product or item number in the search field "Item/Product number".
2. Enter the number of month you want to go back in the input field "Number of month" or set it using the arrow buttons.
3. In order to execute the search, click on the SEARCH button. If the search was successful, a corresponding message will appear and the change history for the select time is shown in the "Timeline" table.

Instead of entering a product number, you can also enter an item number. Though, the change history of the superordinate product is called up.

*You need to enter at least a product number or an item number. If only a product number is entered, the search captures all the items of the respective product. If you enter an item number only, the product number of the superordinate product is loaded into the “Product number” field once the search was triggered, but only the change history entries for the item are shown. The same is true if a product number as well as an item number is entered..
