Desigo CC provides functionality for detailed tracking of modifications and deletions of selected objects. With Desigo CC, you can track which property of an object was changed, its value before and after the change, why the change was made, who authorized the change and from where the change was made. Desigo CC uses the concept of a validation profile to allow the user the ability to identify which components of the system receive enhanced logging.

  • Validation Profile: Modifications and deletions to an object that has the profile enabled will require a comment from the user and may require a user password (optional) to execute the modification or deletion. Depending on how the object is set up, users attempting to modify or delete the object will be required to enter a comment and be allowed to continue or enter a comment and be required to enter their user password to continue. Any modification or deletion to a designated Object requires the user to enter in a reason for change that is permanently attached to the electronic record.
    Designated objects have revision numbers that are automatically maintained by the Desigo CC software. Any editing of a designated object automatically increments the revision number. Revision numbers may be used to track changes to objects as an alternative or supplement to keeping paper records. The revision number is displayed in the Log Viewer in the Desigo CC software.
  • Enhanced Logging and Audit Trails: The following information is automatically recorded in the Desigo CC History Database when a point trend value is modified or deleted – no other objects can be edited:
    • Property – Describes what part of an object was changed.
    • Previous Value – Displays the value of an object's property before the change/deletion.
    • (Current) Value – Displays the value of an object's property after the change/deletion.
    • Comment – Displays why a change to or deletion of an object was made, or more information as to why an action was performed.
    • User – Displays the user account that authorized the change to or deletion of an object.
    • Object Version – Displays the current version of the object.
