      I have seen a few posts over the years about Change Log Entries getting out of control.Ā  In order to help our own company with this I have created a simple tool that others may benefit from.Ā  It counts change log entries by table, displays counts by field in a factbox and gives access to Change Log Setup and Delete Change Log Entries report in the ribbon.Ā  All this is date filterable as well.Ā  Here is what it looks like (blanks in Table Caption or Field Name means the table/field does not exist anymore so you can most certainly delete those):

      You can even Delete Change Log entries at the field level which can be further filtered based on your date filter and Count fields are drill-downable.Ā  There is nothing crazy new from base but just summarized and easier to use.Ā  Depending how large your Change Log Entry table is this screen could take a second or two to load and move round.Ā  It will be faster if you use the scroll bar instead of using the keyboard cursor keys to move one record at a time (the slowness is due to the field factbox).

      I have attached the 3 C/AL objects (2 Pages and 1 Query) as text that can be imported into a database for you to try it out.Ā  Currently the object numbers are this but will probably need to be renumbered into a range that works for you:
      Page 50000 Change Log Summary
      Page 50001 Change Log Field Factbox
      Query 50000 Change Log Totals

      Send me an email if you need help with the renumbering.Ā  Don’t forget that when importing as text it overwrites exsiting object so make sure these object numbers don’t exist.

      Looks like the attachment of the objects opens them in a new web page instead of allowing you to download them.Ā  Either copy and paste into notepad and then save as a file or send me a message and I will send you the objects.
