Tracking Specification Changes
This topic describes the change events and change event details that the system tracks out-of-the-box. Because the change tracking functionality is highly configurable, the out-of-the-box options might differ from those in your system.
Change Events
The system automatically tracks specification changes based on the following events:
When you create a specification
When you update a specification
When you delete a specification
When you add a specification to a season
When you remove a specification from a season
When you change the lifecycle state of a specification
* 
The system does not track the original lifecycle state of the specification. The standard change tracking information only notes the new lifecycle state.
Change Event Details
The system tracks change event details, including designate attributes, for the following specification change events:
Create
Update
Changed specification attributes appear when you expand the related change event on the Tracked Changes tab. The table lists the name of the attribute that has been changed, as well as the original and updated attribute values, and is sorted alphanumerically based on the changed attribute name.
