Configure fields to track in change history
The information on this page refers to functionality not yet generally available. It is available only in the Preview Sandbox environment.
Adobe Workfront generates automatic system updates to record the following events:
- Changes users make in an object field
- Actions users perform on an object
These system updates include the following type of information:
- The change that was made
- The name of the user who made the change
- The time and date of the change
As a Workfront administrator, you can configure which object fields and actions Workfront tracks.
For example, you could have Workfront track all changes users make to the names of issues throughout the system. Any issue name change then appears as an entry on the change history log. For more information, see View and manage change history.
