Reference Data Management

The "Reference Data Management" tab tracks changes to reference data units and their attributes within OvalEdge. This includes actions performed by:

• Reference Data Admin (RD Admin): Creates or deletes reference data units.

• Steward of a Specific RD Unit: Updates the unit's attributes.

The audit log captures the following details:

• Reference Data Unit: Name of the unit affected

• Connector: Connector associated with the reference data

• Object Type: Type of object linked to the unit (e.g., Table Column)

• Attribute Name: Name of the specific attribute (e.g., table column name)

• Action: ‘Add’, ‘Update’, or ‘Delete’ (for Stewards, ‘Updated’ refers to attribute changes)

• Changes:

  • From: Previous value of the attribute or unit

  • To: New value of the attribute or unit

• Updated By: The user who made the change

• Updated On: Timestamp of the action

Sorting and Filtering: Audit details can be sorted/filtered by RD Unit, Connector, Action, and Updated On.
