Task history view

Layout and overview

The Task History view is split into two sections:

  • Task history table: A list of task history records, with each row representing an individual update to the task.

  • Details pane: Displays the details of the selected update, showing which fields were changed and the values before and after the update.

Using the task history table

The task history table lists all updates to the task, with one row per update record. You can click on a row to display the details of that update in the pane on the right.

Above the table, you will find various sort and filter options to help you locate specific updates:

  • Show: Controls the sort order of the update records. You can also click the header of the Update Date column to change the sort direction.

    • Latest First: Sorts records by update date in descending order (newest updates first).

    • Oldest First: Sorts records by update date in ascending order (oldest updates first).

  • Update Type: Filters the records by the type of update made to the task.

    • All: Shows all updates, with no filter applied.

    • Schedule Update: Displays only updates generated by the project scheduler.

    • User Update: Displays only updates made by users.

  • Update Source: Filters the records by where the update was made.

    • All: Shows updates from all sources.

    • MSP: Displays updates made in Microsoft Project (MSP) or through Fusion Desktop.

    • Fusion: Displays updates made directly in Fusion Online.

  • Updated Fields: Allows you to filter updates by selecting specific data fields. Only update records where the selected fields have changed will be displayed.

Viewing update details

When you select an update record from the task history table, the details pane on the right displays the details of that update. For each changed field, you will see:

  • Field name: The name of the field that was changed.

  • Before value: The value of the field before the update.

  • After value: The new value of the field after the update.

This allows you to easily track what changes were made to the task and when they occurred.
