Visual Diff Viewer
Overview
The Visual Diff Viewer displays changed values in a readable format so administrators can compare what changed before and after an update.
What this feature does
It presents field differences in a modal or detail area, making updates easier to review than raw data.
Why it is useful
- It helps non-technical users understand changes.
- It supports finance and security investigations.
- It improves the usability of audit data.
Who should read this?
RISE Admin, System Owner, Finance Manager, Security Officer.
Where to find it
Activity Log diff actions, entity history areas, and other places where change details are available.
How to use it
- Open Activity Log.
- Find an updated event with change data.
- Click the diff or changes action.
- Review the old and new values.
- Close the modal and continue filtering if needed.
Example workflow
Instead of reading a raw JSON change, the admin sees that the invoice due date changed from one date to another in a clear before-and-after view.
