User interface elements are described below (unlabeled elements are shown in angle brackets):

UI Elements (A-Z) Description
<Calendar> Select a date in the calendar.
<List of snapshots> The list includes all snapshots taken of the selected view on the selected date.
Authorized By

Displays the name of the user who authorized the snapshots.

Use the drop-down list to filter the list to display only snapshots that were authorized by a selected user.

The user "Internal Process" may appear in the Created by field. This means that the authorization was caused by an internal Configuration Manager process (not a user), and occurred during one of the following occasions:

  • the first time a view was managed and some CIs were authorized.
  • when a user added policies.
  • when a user performed authorization on a different view that shares some CIs with the selected view.

Note This field appears only for snapshots of the authorized state.
Change Details A brief description of the snapshot.
Comments Notes regarding the snapshot.
Creation Time The time that the snapshot was taken.
