The Action Log works in real time so you can make modeling decisions during your current session rather than having to wait until you save the model to review changes. The Action Log lets you determine the best way to work.
Note: If the Action Log pane does not display in the workplace, click Action Log Pane on the View, Windows menu.
As you work on the graphical view of a model in the Diagram Window, you can view the transaction information in the Action Log. As you make changes to your model, the Action Log is updated in real time. For example, if you create an entity in your model, the Action Log reflects this change.
Changes are only viewable in the Action Log during your current modeling session. Each new session begins with an empty Action Log. When you close the model, the Action Log clears. Before closing your model, you can generate a report that lets you view all the changes made during the current session.
The type of objects that appear in the Action Log is based on the display mode you are using. If you are working with a logical model, then only logical objects appear. If you are working with a physical model, then only physical objects appear.
The Action Log lets you search for every transaction and filter by type of change so that you can easily find a specific transaction or a set of transactions. This feature is particularly helpful when working with large models.
