Find Changeset actions using advanced search

You can search for all changeset records created when a user took a specific action such as Create, Move, OnDemand, Publish, and Rename.

Before you begin

To access the Changesets module, you must have one of the following permissions:
- Administrator permissions
- Changesets module permissions
Administrators can grant access to the Changesets module by following the steps in Allow non-Admin users to work with changesets.
In the Changesets module, Advanced search is available only on the Changesets tab. You cannot open Advanced search on the Histories tab.
The Advanced search feature in Changesets does not include Advanced content, so you cannot use XPath expressions here to search.

Tips and tricks

You cannot use the Action field to find records created by an Inspire process.
- An Action is an option from a menu that a user can select to request a modification to a component.
- A Process is code that Inspire runs to complete a modification to a component.
- If you want to use Advanced search to see changeset records for an Inspire process, follow the steps in Find process changes using advanced search.
- You can also use tools in the basic search bar to Filter changesets by selecting an Inspire Process.
For steps to find a changeset using specific criteria, refer to the following topics:

In the Operator list, select one of the following:
- = (Equals): show only changeset records that have the exact option you select in Value
- <> (Not Equal to): show all changeset records that do NOT have the exact option you select in Value
In the Value list, select one of the following:
- Branch: the user selected the Save as a branch option to make a copy of a component that maintains a relationship between the original component and the new copy.
- Copy: the user selected the Save as a copy option to make a copy of a component that includes all references in the original.
- Create: the user selected the Create component, Import, or Save as Branch option from a folder's menu, or the Save as option from a component's right-click menu.
- Delete: the user requested that Inspire send a component (Actions > Delete) or folder (Delete) to the Deleted Items folder.
- Move: the user requested that Inspire remove a component (Actions > Move) or folder (Move) from its current location and store it in a different location in Inspire.
- OnDemand: the user selected the Save as snapshot option to create a snapshot copy of a component and all its references in the database as a history record.
- Publish: the user selected the Publish option to transform content into a deliverable format.
- Review: the user selected the Review option to create an Inspire workflow where content is sent to an Inspire user to comment on and possible make tracked changes.
- Translate: the user selected the Translate option to create an Inspire workflow where content is prepared and sent to an integrated vendor or a ZIP file is created to send manually to a linguist.
- Update: the user selected an option that changed a component's details, such as Edit structure, Approve, Rename, Lock, or Change Language.

4. To group search parameters, select the checkboxes for two or more consecutive parameters and click Group selected clauses.
5. To ungroup search parameters, click Ungroup clauses.
Verify the search parameters for your query and then click Search.
Result: You see a list of changesets that match your criteria.
To save the list of components that match the search as a CSV file:
1. Click Save as CSV.
2. To choose what time zone is used, on the Convert time confirmation screen, select one of the following:
  You see the date displayed in the header of the CSV as: All date/times are shown in {timezone} or UTC.
  UTC is a time zone standard used as a basis for all time zones worldwide. It is a constant time scale and does not change for Daylight Saving Time.
  - To use your local time, click Yes.
  - To use UTC time, click No.
  Result:
  If the list of changesets contains more than 200 records, only the first 200 are saved to the CSV file.
  - You see a file is downloaded to your computer using the following format:
    - InspireChangesets_DD-MM-YYYY-HH-MM-SS-MS
  - If you searched for a change, Inspire now saves only your search results to the CSV file.
  - If you filtered the list, Inspire now saves your filtered list to the CSV file.
  - If you sorted the list, Inspire now saves your sorted list to the CSV file.
