Search on the Changesets Histories tab

You can go to the Changesets module to see an ongoing record of all changes made to every component in your instance of Inspire. As this is a list of all changes made on a daily basis, it can be very long. To find changes to a specific component, you must search on the Histories tab. The Changesets tab only shows changes to a group of components based on the action or process and you cannot can search for a specific component on that sub-tab.

To access the Changesets module, you must have one of the following:

  • Administrator permissions
  • Changesets module permissions

Administrators can grant access to the Changesets module by following the steps in Allow non-Admin users to work with changesets.

Tips and tricks

You can only search for a date, and cannot narrow the search by time. This allows you to find the results you need for the day. Then you can look at the Changeset Date for the timestamp as it is used in your specific time zone.

To search for changes on the Histories tab:

  1. In the top menu, click Changesets.
  2. Select the Histories tab.
  3. In Search, enter a word that can be found in the Component Name.
  4. Optionally, you can apply the following filters:
    • To see changes made during a specific date range, select dates using the From and To date pickers.
    • To see all changes made for a specific user action, select an option in Action.
    • To see all changes made for a specific Inspire process, select an option in Process Type.
    • To see only changesets where the Action is Delete, select Show Deleted.
  5. Click Search search_button.
    To Clear the search criteria and refresh list, in Search, click clear.
  6. Optionally, to save the list of changes that match the search as a CSV file:
    1. Click Save as CSV ExportCSV.
    2. To choose what time zone is used, on the Convert time confirmation screen, select one of the following:

      You see the date displayed in the header of the CSV as: All date/times are shown in {timezone} or UTC.

      UTC is a time zone standard used as a basis for all time zones worldwide. It is a constant time scale and does not change for Daylight Saving Time.

      • To use your local time, click Yes.
      • To use UTC time, click No

      Keep the following issues in mind:

      • The maximum amount of data that can be saved to a CSV is 200 changesets.

      • You can filter the list by dates to limit the number of changesets.

      • If you search, Inspire now saves only your search results to the CSV file. To see all changeset records, clear your search.
      • If you filter the list, Inspire now saves only your filtered results to the CSV file. To see all changeset records, clear your search.
      • You can use the Options menu to access the Go To option. This opens the Components browser and highlights the component in the folder where it's stored.
