Change Tracking Using RDPWin

8/1/2007 - It can be useful to see how data looked prior to changes.  For example, a reservation may have an arrival date of 9/1/2009 now, but has date ever been changed?  If so, what was it before?  Has it been changed more than once?  Which user(s) made the change and when?  If the date change caused a rate change, what was the rate before?  To answer these questions and many more, RDP announces RDPWin change tracking.  Features include:

• Changes to reservations made using RDPWin are tracked, including who made the change and the date and time of each change.
• View the reservation exactly as it appeared before and after each change.
• Reporting is available.  Show changes by date, person, reservation, type of change, etc.
• Easy installation.  Just update to the latest version of RDPWin
• Note:  Pervasive Version 9.5 or higher is required for the Change Tracking Module

Change Tracking Sample Screens

Change Summary Displays One Line Per Change

When the Changes tab is selected on a reservation, one summary line is displayed for each time the reservation was changed without regard to how many separate fields were changed.  Double-click any summary row to see the complete detail of all changes made to each field on the reservation.  The summary change screen is below and the detail of each change further below.

Detail on Each Change is Tracked

The system stores all details of each change.  In the example below, the user "Barry" made a change on 3/1/1998 at 4:51 PM.  He changed the number of nights from 3 to 7, as well as changing the total reservation price from $762.42 to $1307.48.  The other reservation changes are shown below.

Show All Reservation Detail Before and After Each Change

You can display the reservation detail before and after every change.  In the example below the reservation appears before the last change.   If a given reservation had 10 changes, you could view the reservation as it appeared at any of the 10 points in time!

Change Analysis Screen

In addition to viewing all changes to a given reservation you can use the Change Analysis screen to review all changes to all reservations for a given date range, or by a given person.  The change analysis screen appears below.  In this example we are looking at all changes made by "Barry" from 2/15/1998 to 3/1/1998.  A wide variety of change analysis are possible.
