Understanding Change Diffs
Overview
Change diffs show the before and after values for fields that changed during an update event.
What this feature does
They make it easier to understand exactly what was modified instead of only knowing that a record was updated.
Why it is useful
- It helps identify sensitive changes quickly.
- It reduces investigation time.
- It is useful for finance, project, client, and permission-related reviews.
Who should read this?
RISE Admin, Security Officer, Finance Manager, Project Manager.
