This column displays the name of the column whose value has been updated from the Enter Cost Progress form or Enter Schedule Progress form.

When you add a new resource assignment, the word "Add" is included in parenthesis after the description in this column. When you delete a resource assignment, the word "Delete" is included in parenthesis after the description in this column.

Prior Period

This column displays the field value from the prior period.

The prior period is identified by examining the project’s calendar and the existing progress history within PM Compass.

For schedule-only projects, the prior period is the date of the last approved progress entry.

If no status was submitted in the prior period or if the progress history has been deleted, the prior period will be blank.
