Understanding Track Value Changes Reports

Track Value Changes reports list changes made to data within the database, and view correlated information to provide insight to what data has been changed, and what users made the changes.

A number of report definitions are available for Track Value Changes Active Modules which reports on various aspects of values that have been changed.
