Audit/Record changes to procedures / lines

As an on-going maintenance task, we frequently have to modify procedures (add more lines, modify existing, disable lines, etc.)

It would be nice if (upon saving) the username/timestamp and action is recorded against each line (e.g. added, disabled, modified, etc). This can be used, in part as a version control mechanism.

There should then be a report to pull all changes easily for auditability.

  • This could be very useful for developers.

  • Very good idea! Would be very helpful.

  • Hi Kassam,
    completely agree with your input. We could even extend this reasoning to all the Board objects: it could be very useful to automatize the tracking and let the developer know when and who modifed the considered object (procedure, cube, entity, …).

  • Really useful indeed.
    It would be also nice to be able to enter a little comment for a whole procedure and have a tag like "unused" before deleting it
