Timeline

PowerFAIDS maintains a history of all updates made to a student record for auditing and reporting purposes in the student record Timeline page. Data viewed in the timeline is not editable but can be searched, sorted, and filtered.

Data does not automatically populate when the Timeline page is accessed; select View Logs to return the latest data for the associated student.

Viewing changes to the student record

You can search for data stored in the timeline using any, all, or none of the following search parameters fields.

• Date Range: Use the calendar prompt to enter a specific set of dates to view only the changes within that timeframe.
• Business Area: Enter a specific business area (page or section of the student record) to view only the changes from that business area.

  Tip: The business area will be the same as the preface of any associated field aliases, eg. Program.Name has a business area of “Program” and PaymentPeriod.ActualStartDate has a business area of “PaymentPeriod”.

• Field Name: Enter a specific field name (Note: field name not alias) to view only the changes to that field.
• Year: Enter a specific year (either academic year or award year) to view only the changes from that year.

Entering more than one of these parameters operates as an ‘AND’ query, meaning that results are displayed only for records where all specified criteria are met.

If you select View Logs without entering any criteria, the system will return all recorded changes to the record.

After selecting View Logs to return the timeline data, you can further refine it using the table search and filtering options. For more information, see Working with Tables.
