Property History

In this microlearning, we will focus on the history of properties. In previous microlearnings, we already discussed the concept of properties. The focus for this microlearning will be learning how you can see who changed which property when. As you can imagine this is ideal for audit purposes but also can be a big help when analyzing the behavior of the flow.

The property history overview in eMagiz is an overview page that defines on a per-environment basis (i.e. a separated overview for Test, Acceptance, and Production) which properties have been created and/or changed, who changed them and when they were changed.

This overview is located within the property context in Deploy. So when you navigate to Deploy and open the properties overview you will see on your left-hand side several menu options. One of these options is called History.

By clicking on it an overview will be presented to the user that defines what has changed, by whom, and when.

As the above picture shows within this overview you can filter on the property name (what), users (who), and date (when) to focus your search for answers. This is in a nutshell what the property history overview is good for and how to use it to your advantage.

4. Assignment

Navigate to the property history overview under properties and see if you can analyze for a couple of properties how they have changed over time.
This assignment can be completed with the help of the (Academy) project that you have created/used in the previous assignment.

5. Key takeaways

• The history overview is located in Deploy under Properties
• It gives you the ability to prove what has changed by whom and when. This is important when you get audited
• It gives you the ability to analyze certain behavior and based on the property history overview draw conclusion
