Viewing Attributes History
IB Technical Attributes History view allows users to assess the quality and performance of the IB by analyzing how the attribute values have changed over some time and the impact of one attribute over the other. You can view additional information at a glance, such as who and when the updates were made. To view IB's attribute history, you must add the Technical Attribute LWC component piqTechAttributeHistory to the lightning record page.
In this view, you can:
• Filter the records for a specific date range. If multiple technical attribute records are saved for the same day, they will be displayed in the Captured On column with the date and the time it was held.
• The Captured By field gives you information on the user who made the update.
• Export the records as a .csv file by clicking Export List. Note that only the displayed records are exported when you click Export List. If you have applied a filter and then exported, only the filtered records are exported.
• The history of attributes is sorted and grouped by captured date in descending order.
• Multiple entries for the same attribute maintained in the Last Occurrence field are also sorted and displayed.
