| Summary | 0018978: Audit Trail screen Old Value / New Value fields should have real values, not IDs | ||
| Revision | 2012-09-24 21:03 by AugustoMauch | ||
| Steps To Reproduce | For example: 1. Go to a sales order line, and change the tac from Arrendamiento 18% (cobros) to Arrendamiento 16% (cobros) - IVA Normal 2. On the Sales Order Audit Trail screen, the old and new values match what the user selected on the screen 3. But, go to the Master Audit Trail screen and see that the old value is 4DB3919EB42E485FBFB6EA1342C07C04 and the new value is 8AA93DB8D416480E9A54D79A25403E7F. These are not useful values. If the foreign key IDs were properly resolved to real values (like on the table-specific audit screens), it would be very, very useful for searching. For example, consider this common scenario: - employee maintains an order line, to change the tax (for example). It is actually the WRONG order line, a simple mistake. - supervisor looks at the intended order line, sees that it has not been changed. - Asks employee about it. Employee says "yes, I changed an order line to 18%". - They look at the record and employee realizes he changed the wrong order - If the real values were properly shown on the Audit Trail screen, it would be a very simple matter to FIND the order line that was incorrectly changed (so it could be changed back)--just filter on the New Value. As the screen is now, it is useless for this type of research - Additionally, the Audit Trail screen must include a link to open the maintenance screen up on a new application tab (I will enter a feature request for that as well). |
