    Hi @J_Lee,
     
    Because in table browser it displays the reference but in SQL you have to look at the RecId in the DimensionAttribute table.
     
     
    You can look at the contents of the DimensionAttribute table.

    Thank Mohamed.
     
    In the tablebrowser, dimensionAttribute is shown SystemGeneratedAttributeFixedAsset but the database log is shown 54637144579. Please explain
     
    BTW, i enable the database log set up by dimension code. Why does it capture the Fixed Asset creation?

    Hi @J_Lee,
     
    According to the standard, this field contains the values of the two title filed for each table.
    In your case, you used the DimensionAttributeValue table.
    So this field takes the value of DimensionAttribute and DisplayValue.

    That is the record ID or RecID of the specific record being changed/created.
    Essentially is the background identifier of the record instead of the more user friendly name or description of the record.
     
    The database log unfortunately in some cases, like when tracking dimensions, only show the RecID instead of the name of the record.
    For you to identify which record was changed, you would need to look in the table you are tracking and find the record ID of each record to be able to correspond that with the actual name.
