- Change Management Console

The Change Management Console provides you with all the information that you need to check on the status of an object, change or release. Choose whether to select by object, change or release and then use the selection criteria to find the required item.

Object: select an object to view booking and audit details - when the object was booked out and in, exported or imported.
Change: select a change number to view when the change was created, whether it is assigned to a release and whether it has been transferred.
Release: select a release to view when the release was created, approved and exported.

In addition to viewing details of objects, changes and releases you can use the options on the right-click context menu to book in objects, approve or unapprove changes and releases and restore old versions. Access to these options depends on your security roles as defined by the Administrator.

Select the item to view the details which appears in a tree view in the left panel; audit details appears on the right panel.
Double-click the item or expand the tree view.
The details panel automatically updates as you drill down from release to change to object.
