View the Change Journal Entries

When an object is changed, information about the change is entered in the change journal. To view the change journal for all projects in a project source, in Developer, expand Administration, then expand System Monitors, and then select Change Journal Transactions. The change journal entries are listed in the main window of Developer.

You must have the Audit Change Journal privilege to view the change journal.
