I just added the item screen to "Change Log Setup" with three fields to monitor if inserted, updated or deleted. I then made a change to one of the fields for the item, but am not seeing the change come through on the "Change Log Entries" screen. That said, I confirmed the new configuration under "Change Log Setup". Allowed some time to pass and then rechecked the Change Log Entries, but am still not seeing anything from the new screen.

Do I need to wait longer or is there something perhaps not setup properly? Would appreciate any advice. Thank you.

Hello,

The entries will be reflected in the change log entries screen almost immediately.

Can you check if the user who made the changes has the relevant permissions to change log tables?

Session Refresh: Changes in the Change Log Entries might not appear until the user’s session is refreshed. This can happen if the session expires and is refreshed, the user selects another company or Role Center, or the user signs out and signs in again.

Field Monitoring: Ensure that the fields you want to monitor are correctly set up in the Change Log Setup. Sometimes, specific fields might not be tracked if they use properties like autoIncrement.

Activation: Double-check that the Change Log is activated. On the Change Log Setup page, ensure that the “Change Log Activated” option is turned on.

Table and Field Selection: Verify that the correct tables and fields are selected for logging. You can do this by going to the Change Log Setup page, selecting the Tables action, and ensuring the right tables and fields are marked for insert, modify, and delete operations.

Performance Considerations: If the Change Log is turned off during an upgrade or for performance reasons, it might not track changes until it is reactivated.

Hi ,

Looks like you are doing first time this setup. Make sure Change Log Activated = "TRUE" like following screen to show the result.

If you're still having trouble finding the steps for the change log, take a look at the Complete Change Log Setup Guide and the How to Check Change Log tutorial. I hope this helps you resolve the issue.

Thanks and regards,

Jubel Thomas

Hi,

1. Changes in the Change Log Entries might not appear until the user’s session is refreshed. Try signing out and signing back in or switching to another company or Role Center and then back again.

2.Double-check that the Change Log is activated. Go to the “Change Log Setup” page and ensure the “Change Log Activated” checkbox is checked.

3.Verify that the specific fields you want to monitor are correctly selected in the Change Log Setup.

4.Ensure that the correct table is selected for logging changes. You can do this by navigating to the “Tables” action in the Change Log Setup and confirming that the Item table and the specific fields are included.

5. Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to view the Change Log Entries.

I appreciate all the responses. Next day once logged in again, then I was able to see the changes come through. It may have been too soon, and as one had suggested I may have needed to fully log off and the back on to see the changes take effect.
