Release History

This topic describes Release History, which records all the events occurring in a release, providing a detailed audit trail of user actions with corresponding dates and times.

The History page is available contextually with Release templates, Workflow templates, Releases, Workflow executions, Delivery patterns, Deliveries, and Triggers. The layout remains mostly consistent across these areas, with subtle differences depending on the context.

Release View

Template View

To access the History page, open a release or template, click VIEW > Flow from the sidebar, and click INSIGHTS > History from the sidebar.

You can perform the following actions:

• View the history table, which lists events with the following fields:

  • Performed by: Indicates the user type that executed the action.
  • Activity: Describes specific log messages, such as task creation or updates like failed, completed, or skipped activities.

    Note:Log messages are trimmed if they are too long, but can be expanded using a Show more link. For specific activities like failed, completed, or skipped, a badge is displayed to make them stand out.

  • Target: Specifies the activity type, showing whether the log relates to a release, phase, or task.

    Note: If a task ID is present, it links directly to the task. When no task ID is available (such as for attachments), an alternative message appears.

  • Time: Shows when the activity occurred (date and time). You can toggle the time column between ascending and descending order using the arrow.

• Enable the Highlight important toggle to easily identify key events. Rows for significant event types—such as completed deliveries, failed tasks, or release completions—are highlighted. The system highlights the following event types:

    DELIVERY_COMPLETED
    ITEM_COMPLETED
    ITEM_COMPLETED_MANUALLY
    ITEM_DESCOPED
    ITEM_REMOVED
    ITEM_RESCOPED
    ITEM_RESET
    ITEM_RESET_MANUALLY
    ITEM_SKIPPED
    ITEM_TRANSITION_APPROVED
    PHASE_STARTED
    RELEASE_ABORTED
    RELEASE_COMPLETED
    RELEASE_FLAG_COMMENT_UPDATED
    RELEASE_FLAG_STATUS_UPDATED
    RELEASE_STARTED
    STAGE_COMPLETED
    STAGE_REMOVED
    STAGE_STARTED
    TASK_ABORT_SCRIPT_COMPLETED
    TASK_ABORT_SCRIPT_STARTED
    TASK_DELETED
    TASK_FAILED
    TASK_FLAG_COMMENT_UPDATED
    TASK_FLAG_STATUS_UPDATED
    TASK_RECOVERED
    TASK_RECOVERY_STARTED
    TASK_SKIPPED
    TASK_SKIPPED_IN_ADVANCE
    TRANSITION_EXECUTED_AUTOMATICALLY
    TRANSITION_EXECUTED_MANUALLY
    WORKFLOW_EXECUTION_ABORTED
    WORKFLOW_EXECUTION_COMPLETED
    WORKFLOW_EXECUTION_STARTED

  Note: Additionally, any activity you select updates the URL. This means that when you refresh the page or return later, your filters stay applied. These selections are saved in your local storage.

• By default, all activities are displayed with the most recent entries at the top, eliminating the need to manually select the Category filter.

• Key actions are highlighted for easier identification, with an Important toggle that flags significant changes such as flagged tasks, deleted or skipped task, started phase, release or workflow, etc.

• Color-coded tags (pills) help differentiate between completed, failed, and skipped items.

  

• Use the search box in the top-right corner to filter logs by user, activity type, or log ID. For example, entering a release admin shows relevant logs. Release admin actions like task comments are grouped under Release Administrator.

  

• Click the filter icon at the top-right corner to open the filter drawer. You can filter by target (release, task, or user), time, and more. The number of applied filters is displayed both in the filter button badge and in the page subheader.
