Using the Record History Button

Aptify provides a complete revision tracking system for all records in the database. The Record History option can be turned on or off for each service by an administrator. See Enabling and Disabling Record History for information on enabling this option for a service. In the Aptify Desktop client, the Record History button appears in the Data Control Bar for the records associated with the service.

When the Record History option is enabled for a particular service, Aptify maintains a chronological list of the changes that were made to each version of a record. In addition, the Record History shows who made the change and when.

One additional feature of Record History is the ability to restore previous versions of a record. Restoring a previous version does not destroy later versions of the record. Instead, it creates a new version that reverses the changes made after the selected version. Note that a user must have Delete permission to the service in order to use the Restore feature. In addition, note that the Record History Restore feature may not be available for all services. See Enabling and Disabling Record History for information on how to enable and disable record history functionality at the entity level.
