Filter Action History

You can reduce the number of actions that appear in the History pane by setting one or more filters.

You can define the following filters on Action History:

  • Author

  • Date

  • Category – Conversion, Create, Refine Column, Refine Worksheet

  • Type – Alphabetical list of actions performed on this worksheet

For example, suppose you have a long list of actions that have been performed on a shared worksheet, and you want to see only the Refine column actions performed by User1 on a certain date.

  1. Select History in the bottom corner of the side panel to access the action history of a worksheet.
  2. Click the Filter icon in the top menu bar of the History pane.
  3. Click the + sign to add a new filter.
  4. Select one of the action filters and any subset.

    In our example, select the Category filter and select Refine Column from the list that appears.

  5. (Optional) Click the Show Details icon on a listed action to display the following details:

    • Action description

    • Author

    • Date applied

    • Category

      Possible values include Create, Conversion, Refine Column, Refine Worksheet, and Data Quality.

    • Column applied to

    In the example, you find that User1 is the Author for a Replace action done on May 27, 2018.
  6. (Optional) Click the + sign and select another filter and specify a value.

    In the example, you would select the Author filter, expand the drop-down list of values on the filter dialog, and select User1.

  7. (Optional) Repeat step 6 for any additional filters you want to add.

    In the example, you would select the Date filter, click the icon on the filter dialog to display the calendar, scroll to May 2018, click the square for 27, and click OK.
