Entity History#

Overview#

This widget presents the history of an Entity. You can select services, which load the corresponding operations. From the operations, you can check the property changes. The operations are displayed in a nested way, which means it is possible to have multiple operations inside operations. You can also filter or search for specific operations, or just look at the service's comments in a separate tab. Below is an example of a UI Page with an Entity History widget, showing the history for a given Material.
