Many other tools (e.g. Anaplan in the example below) offer the possibility to right-click on any cell of any report and "drill-through" on a table containing the history of changes for that specific record.
The MVP of this is feature:
Would be extremely valuable to increase transparency and explainability for both end-users and administrators of the system.
Currently, in Board this information is fragmented in different logs (Data Entry, Smart import, ect…) which:
- Are incomplete (there is no log reporting Dataflow and Datareader changes at the atomic level: specific coordinates, username/system admin, timestamp, Old Value/New Value, type of action (Data Entry, Data Read, Smart Import, Data Flow, …), Action identifier
- Create a dependency on the system admin or support team who are the only ones able to access and navigate these often far from clear logs
The result is that:
- End users: often perceive Board as a "Black Box" and keep excel backups as a safety measure
- Developers: With increased application complexity, it is extremely challenging to conduct root cause analysis and identify the source of bugs
The full Version of this feature:
Would allow the possibility to quickly restore previous values with one click to rectify incorrect changes at different level of granularity and perimeters
