Tracking Project Changes

A key FactoryStudio feature is the ability to track changes in a project configuration. Track changes helps to verify a project's configuration during various stages of development and implementation. This is important because you need to be able to verify which version of your project you are using when you are developing and working through diagnostics. To enable track changes, click on the "Track" icon.

FactoryStudio tracks changes for every aspect of a project configuration. When you create tables, their names are displayed and an indication is made that changes have occurred. Double-clicking on any line in the table brings you to the editor which generated in the change.

The Changes tab provides information regarding which module was changed, what the change was, which project build the change occurred in, the date the change was made, and any arbitrary comments that were made by the user.

The Releases tab provides information regarding the date of when a project was published, who published it, and the project's build number when it was published.

Adding Notes to the Project

During the development and implementation of a project, developers often need to leave notes for themselves or for other users who are collaborating on the project. Within FactoryStudio, developers can leave these notes by using the Notes utility. To use notes, click on the "Notes" icon.

Notes are visible on the desktop when editing the Project.

Notes are similar to "Post-It" notes and are viewable by all Project design team members.
