Case Journal Sub-Panel
The Case Journal is a sub-panel in which SFHub records all the actions taken on a Sigmafine Case that were made by all users. A Case Journal is maintained for each Sigmafine Case and can be used for audit purposes.
Workflow Panel - Case Journal sub-panel
The following table provides descriptions of the main areas of the Case Journal sub-panel.
Case Journal sub-panel
| Area | Description |
|---|---|
| Case time range | The time range for the select Sigmafine Case. |
| Action details | This area contains details of the action. Details vary based on the action type. |
| Action timestamp | A timestamp that indicates the time at which the Case action was executed. |
| Transactions | A Transaction is a set of changes enclosed between a Case CheckOut and a Case CheckIn or Case UndoCheckOut. |
Case Journal Buttons(Icon
| Button | Description |
|---|---|
| Export to Excel | The Export to Excel button allows you to export the case journal to an Excel spreadsheet file. |
| Expand all | The Expand all button works as a toggle to expand or collapse all transactions. |
 | The Information icon works as a toggle to show or hide the action details. |
All the actions made by each user are recorded in ascending order, based on the action timestamp, and grouped by transaction.
Any action initiated by a user on a Sigmafine Case always begins with a Case Checkout made automatically by the SFHub Visualizer or explicitly by the user.
All actions made by a user are recorded in the Sigmafine Case when the Case CheckIn is requested, or unless a user discards (rolls-back) an action by selecting a Case UndoCheckOut. When a Case UndoCheckOut is requested to discard all the modifications made on a Sigmafine Case, the Case Journal still tracks all the operations.
