Change Audit Log / Revision History

I don’t see a survey thus my first thought here:

The history itself seems very comprehensive. Nice job!

Since you @darragh taught me to manage (build) my data admin in the app itself, I spend very litte to no time in the data backend. Thus it would be great to have a dedicated history element that I can place in my layout. I personally would prefer not to have it as part of the comments element as I do not use that element in many records.

The way I organise my record pages there is always an admin tab that is only accessible to admins. This would be the perfect place for the brand new Noloco History Element.

Thanks for your feedback @Tobias !

Good to know!

Great news @Tobias and @Brandi_Bullock

Your record-level history is now available to admins and data admins in your app.

Once enabled it will show up next to your comments (for applicable users)

Hi. That is great! According to your screenshot the history symbol should be aligned right on the page. On my record page it aligns left, right over the record title. Not such an ideal place in my opinion.

Can you share the page? This sounds like an alignment issue on our side

It happens because I don’t have breadcrumbs or backlinks activated. Just like the comments icon. This, too, aligns left when comments or backlink are inactive. It’s just never been a problem, because I always you comments elements on the page, never the top bar icon.

We’ll take a look at this today @Tobias

Thank you for fixing this

@darragh Any timeline on making this available to users who are not data admins?

We flipped some users to a data admin role so they could see the revision history (they LOVED it!), but that conflicted with permissions on the users table where we only allowed internal users to see user records for other internal users. By making them data admins, they could see them all.

The reason we limited permissions in the users table is to prevent someone from making an @mention in the record comments and accidentally triggering a notification to an external user. We have a lot, so typing in a name would commonly result in the wrong person being selected, and then we have an external user suddenly getting comment notifications for every comment in the record that they should not be seeing.

As it stands, we’ve had to take the revision history away from most users to prevent that from happening.

I’m glad the feedback was great @jesse

Unfortunately, this is the main reason we can’t (and won’t) make record history readily available to non-data admins.

It’s very hard to put permissions on historical data. We’re still thinking about it, but it’s not something we can easily do unfortunately.
