The Datastay platform services automate many of the processes that facilitate effective management of the product lifecycle.

The Datastay Logging Service records every action performed within the Datastay environment in one of two categories. A User Event occurs when users perform specific actions such as logging in, creating a new item, completing a workflow step, checking in a file or so forth, and a Change Event occurs when product information is modified.

Users can always review change logs to determine who has made specific changes, and when and what was changed. They can also find out what the information looked like before it was changed. This provides users tremendous insight into the use of the system and the history of products while automatically generating the audit logs required to support quality adherence requirements.

The Datastay Notification Service generates two specific types of notification which are automatically emailed to users. Change Reports are lists of changes sent to users at a predetermined interval (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly). Users determine what they want their personal change reports to contain and they are then sure they kept informed of all relevant changes during that that interval

Event Notifications are automatically sent to users when a workflow event occurs. Unlike Change Reports, Event Notifications are not subscribed to. They are sent in real-time as soon as a triggering event has occured. This keeps users constantly informed of relevant workflow events, giving them realtime insight into processes they are involved in, and and proactively alerting them when something requires their attention.
