What the element history shows
The Element history page is the record of one building element across every version of the model it has appeared in. Open it from Assure: select a finding, then choose Element history in the inspector.
The page has four parts. Versions lists each version of the element that has been read, with the file and revision it came from, when it was first seen, and which one is current. Findings lists every finding ever raised against the element, resolved ones included, each with its rule, severity, status and when it was last seen; Open in Assure takes you to a finding. Change sets lists each recorded change to the element's properties, with the property, its value before and after, who made the change, the reason given and when it was applied.
Open in viewer shows the element in the 3D viewer.
Identifiers
Identifiers lists the ways the element is known: its Object ID, its URN, and, where the model carries them, its IFC GlobalId and its identifier in the authoring tool. The Object ID is ZEROBiE's own identifier for the element. It is permanent: it stays the same when the model is exported again and uploaded as a new version, and it is what every finding and change set on this page refers to.
Other systems lists the identifiers the element carries in any further system. Use the copy control to copy an identifier, for example to find the element in another tool.
