History of Changes

The history of changes note provides an audit trail of changes made to the campaign. The white boxes at the top of the columns allows for filtering so that you can focus on just certain line id's or just certain users or fields, etc.

Insert/Trigger Change History

If your site is using Interface Link (IL), Interface Link is often triggered on changes to a campaign line. It is watching the History of Changes, and when a new change is recorded, IL will look at the affected Line ID and will send/re-send the affected lines to downstream systems.

Sometimes, users need to re-send items to Interface Link (even if they haven't changed) for a variety of reasons. There is an option on both the Campaign Line Item, and the Material Record, to trigger a manual history entry. This saves the user the hassle of opening the line and making a fake change just to trigger the feed.

On the line item, the function is accessed here:

The user can select one or more line items and then select the Insert/Trigger Change History. A dialog box will open with a prompt for the user to enter a comment for the change

Any comment will be added to the History of Changes in a new "Comment" column, which will only be seen when there is a comment in there.
