Find changes by date using advanced search

You can search the changeset list to find records that were created on a specific day. The default format for dates is MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS AM/PM. For example, 07/29/2025 7:38:25 AM.

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.

      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.
