> UDA History By Name

> Figure 16: UDA History By Name

> This view displays the History of each tracked UDA in its own section. UDA change rows are grouped by the UDAs being tracked.

> Go To UDA: When you select a particular UDA from the drop-down list, the browser moves to that group of UDA changes. This is useful in cases where there is a long list of UDAs that take up more than one viewable screen.

> The table in this view displays the following information grouped by UDA Name:

> Timestamp: the date and time of the change

> Modified From: This is the value of the UDA before the change. If a UDA value is long (more than 40 characters), it displays with the first several characters and an ellipsis (...). It is displayed as a hyperlink (indicated by blue color). Clicking the hyperlink displays a popup with the complete value. Clicking the x in the top right-hand corner closes the popup.

> Modified To This is the value of the UDA after the change. If a UDA value is long (more than 40 characters), it displays with the first several characters and an ellipsis (...). It is displayed as a hyperlink (indicated by blue color). Clicking the hyperlink displays a popup with the complete value. Clicking the x in the top right-hand corner closes the popup.

> Operation: the type of UDA change. There are four possible types:

> - Created: UDA History operation displays Created upon creation of the process instance if its Trackable checkbox is checked in the process definition from which the process instance was created.
> - Added: UDA History operation displays Added if the UDA was added while editing a process instance, and the instance was saved.
> - Modified: The value of the UDA has been modified.

> - Stop Tracking: Tracking of UDA stops when its Trackable checkbox is unchecked while editing a process instance, and the instance was saved.
> - Deleted: The UDA has been deleted from the process.
