View Change Log from Ribbon

The Change Log in Microsoft Dynamics NAV is used to log inserts, modifications and deletions of records, says Olof Simren on his Dynamics NAV blog. This tool can be a useful option for giving users information on who created the record, what the value of a field was previously, when the last modification was made, etc. But Simren advises that if it's going to be used this way (and not just for monthly auditing) then you probably want to add an action in the Ribbon to display the Change Log entries for the record that the user is looking at. He uses an example with the customer card to illustrate how to do it with and without code. His no-code approach:

"This option is probably the method to choose if you don't have access to write C/AL code with your license. Although I would never recommend making changes to any objects without writing anything in the documentation trigger (but that is another subject ).

"Open the customer card page in design mode, add an action item to the page and call it "Change Log."
