Configurable lists of values (LOVs)
: Some LOVs, such as Status, are controlled by the APEX
team. Others, such as Owner, are controlled by the development team. Instead of maintaining
the developer-configurable LOVs in a separate maintenance area, these lists are maintained
in place. For example, to add a new owner, you enter the appropriate name in the New Owner
item and click the Apply Changes button, and that name is added to the LOV. Unfortunately,
currently there is no easy and safe way to edit these configurable LOVs; we hope this ability
will be added in a future APEX release.
History Tab
The History tab (see Figure
15-10
) presents a detailed audit trail of all changes made to all features. The tab presents
an interactive report that contains the feature, column name, old value, new value, user who made the change,
and when the change was made. You can view the report on the History tab for quality assurance purposes or as a
source of evidence if contractual disputes arise.

Progress Log Tab
The Progress Log page in Figure
15-11
is, in effect, a diary. Stakeholders can, on the Features Edit page, enter free-form
text into the progress log at any time. The progress log acts as a communication channel for the development team
and can be used to record new ideas, reminders, a flash of brilliance, questions, and anything else that needs to be
remembered.
