Description

The Model Change Log component uses a reported model's ModifiedHistory parameter to construct a model history table that displays information about each logged revision to the model. This model history table can contain information about any of the following:

• Author of each change
• Model version of the change
• Time and date of the change
• Description of the change

To see the model revision history parameters, select Model Properties from the model's File menu. This will display the Block Diagram Properties dialog box. The Model Properties tab in this dialog box contains the model revision history parameters.

The Options tab in the Block Diagram Properties dialog box controls how the version number is incremented. The History tab controls history updates and lets you edit the ModifiedHistory string. You must select the Prompt For Comments When Save option from the Modified History Update drop box in order to save your revisions. This component will not run if the model's ModifiedHistory parameter is empty or if you edit the parameter in such a way that the Report Generator cannot parse it; in these cases, the Comment component will not be able to produce the table.

For more information on the Block Diagram Properties dialog box and model history, see the Simulink documentation.

Note that if your model has a long revision history, you may want to limit the number of revisions reported.

The Model Change Log component should run before the Model Simulation component.
