Entity and Entity Change History processing (option 4 from the Main Function Menu) allows you to view and maintain Change Control Database (CCDB) entity descriptor information. It also allows you to review the history of changes made to one or more entities, or to review the status history for one or more entities.

To request this facility, fill in an option value of 4 and press Enter from the Main Function Menu.

Before reading further, you should be familiar with the screen handling information in Chapters 1 through 3.

CA Endevor/DB returns the Entity Functions submenu. The menu displayed for any given user may differ from that shown here, depending on whether menu items have been masked from use.

The options available from the Entity Functions submenu are described below. For each option, the description includes its use and instructions to process.

The detailed screens used for entity processing are described individually, following the option summary.
