Transaction History Includes Details of Device Creation and Modification Events
FlexNet Operations users can now view the details for device creation and modification activity in the transaction history. Device modification activity includes, for example, changing a device name, user, site name or description. Tracking such detailed information can be useful, for example, for audit purposes and general traceability.
Users can access the transaction history in the following ways:
| • | Click System > Transaction History. For Entity type, select Device and specify any other search parameters as required. Clicking Search opens the Search Transactions: Results page which shows the events for the Device entity. |
| • | Click Accounts & Users > All Users. Click a hyperlinked user name. On the Create a User page, click View Transaction. FlexNet Operations displays the Search Transactions: Results page which shows all events for the selected user. The table can be sorted as required, to focus on particular event types or entity types. |
On the Search Transactions: Results page, the creation of a new device is logged as CREATE in the Event type column, whereas edits to a device are logged as an UPDATE event. Clicking the View details link for an event shows the following metadata (non-exhaustive list):
| • | Device ID/name |
| • | Producer’s user ID and username |
| • | Timestamp of creation or modification |
| • | Any attributes |
For edits to devices, the transaction details show the old as well as the new field values.
Note:The transaction history for devices only lists modifications to devices made through the Producer Portal. It does not list modifications made using web services.
Larger Announcements Section on Home Page
On the Producer Portal home page, the Announcements section has been enlarged and can now display more information without the need to scroll. Scrolling is only required for very long announcements.
