# History

The History tab gives users visibility into all past Export and Import operations initiated within the platform. It provides a searchable, filterable log with status indicators and context-specific actions to help you manage your bulk metadata workflows effectively.

Only users in the Owner group can access the Export/Import feature.

### What is shown in History

Every time a user performs an Export or Import operation, a new entry is logged in the History tab with the following metadata:

| **Field**  | **Description**                                                                             |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| File Name  | Name of the CSV used or generated during the operation.                                     |
| Operation  | Indicates whether the operation was an Export or Import.                                    |
| Type       | The type of object involved: Catalog (dataset), Catalog (non-dataset), Glossary, or Policy. |
| Created At | Timestamp when the operation was triggered.                                                 |
| Status     | The result of the operation: In Progress, Success, or Failed.                               |
| Action     | Available actions depending on the operation status (explained below).                      |

### Status:

* In Progress -> Operation is running in the background.
* Success -> The operation completed successfully.
* Failed -> The operation could not be completed due to an error.

### Available Actions by Status

| **Operation Type** | **Status**  | **Available Actions**                                                           |
| ------------------ | ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Export             | Success     | ✅ Download CSV of desired export                                                |
| Export             | Failed      | ❌ Retry Export (if supported) ❌ View error tooltip                              |
| Import             | Failed      | ❌ Download error report                                                         |
| Import             | Success     | <p>✅ Review changes in platform UI<br>✅ Download CSV of file used in import</p> |
| Export/Import      | In Progress | ⏳ Progress indicator, no actions                                                |

The following describe the actions available when Export/Import operation is Failed.

**Retry Export**

If the export operation failed:

* The status will be marked as Failed.
* A tooltip icon will appear beside the status. Hovering over it will show the error message (e.g., timeout, unknown error).
* You will see a Retry Export button in Action, which allows you to re-trigger the same export without needing to reconfigure everything.

**Download Error report**

* No changes will be executed on the platform in import fail.
* The error report is the same CSV file the user uploaded, but it includes inline error messages for each failed row.
* Example: If row 10 had an invalid attribute, that row will be marked with the corresponding error.
* **You will need to fix the rows with errors and before attempting another import operation with the same file.**

### Filters and Search Behavior

To help locate specific operations, you can use:

* **Search bar** — search by file name
* **Filters** — click on “Apply filters” to narrow results by:
  * Operation type (Import or Export)
  * Object type (Catalog (dataset), Catalog (non-dataset), Glossary, Policy)
  * Status (In Progress, Failed, Success)
  * Created at (select a date)
