Description

The Metacontainer History pop-up gives a timeline of events that have occurred on a metacontainer. This is intended to allow a user to audit a metacontainer to determine what all items were transferred into and out of it, and when the metacontainer itself was transferred into and out of other metacontainers.

For reusable metacontainers, the history log might span years and can become quite large. Typically, only the more recent events in the history are pertinent and should appear at the top of the log.

The User and Location fields in the history log represent the user who triggered the event and their signed-in location while triggering the event. The Location field does not necessarily relate to the physical location of the metacontainer at the time the event was triggered.
