Ability to Apply Filters before downloading Model History

apurva1310

Currently, If I want to check history to view some activity on a specific module or list, but I am not aware of the dates when that change took place, It takes forever for me to extract the history for downloading 'ALL' change history and locate that change. I face issues especially when the changes are too many and file is too huge. It would be best for me if I can filter by module, list and user before downloading.

You can Export 'All' period history, most probably that would come in a .txt file. Open and copy all the data, paste it in Excel and use 'Text to Columns' under 'data' option in excel and segregate the data using Delimited (; or ,). Then apply filter on the columns accordingly.

Thanks.

@vishal3120 Yes Vishal, I agree that's one way to do it, yet it takes a really long time to download. Plus sometimes the size of the downloaded file is in GBs, which does not open at all for .txt file.

There are a number of similar ideas that have been suggested. I think this speaks to the demand for such a capability.
