Recorded Changes Table

1. Recorded Changes Table
The main feature of the Change Recorder Details Pane is the list of changes that have been recorded. This will show you all changes the Change Recorder has captured so far in the current project. There are two columns in the table:
  • The Name column will show the Tracking Unique ID of any task that has been changed, as well as what things have been changed about that task. Note that any added tasks will not show a normal Tracking Unique ID value, instead they will be assigned a random GUID by the Change Recorder. This is necessary to be able to import added tasks properly.
  • The Description column shows a written description of the change that occurred, for example, "CHANGED duration from 15 days to 20 days" communicates that the duration value has been changed from it's original value of 15 to 20 while recording was on.
  •   The # column displays the chronological order in which changes were recorded, with 1 representing the first recorded change.
