Can you please make the Created by, Created On, Modified by, Modified On consistent across the platform?  
In some places, they don’t exist at all (such as Jobs, Dropdowns). In others, not all of them exist, for example, in Real time rules, the “Created on” is not there.
Also, you can find them in other places but with a slight difference in the naming, such as “Last modified date” (rules engine) vs “Modified on” (Data management → Object)


Besides consistency, it would go a long way in helping to troubleshoot changes. To be clear, in no way does this solve the need to have proper audit capabilities within GS but it’s a starting point 😊

By the way, this post was prompted by a discussion I had with @alizee  this morning, she found in her SFDC connector new jobs that she ​​thought for a bit that were created by someone in her team without following proper governance… But I found the same “new” jobs on my end (not sure when they appeared, I can’t remember seeing them the last time I was in the Jobs screen checking up something) so we assumed they were jobs added by “System Administrator”. 

These gut checks and mini heart attacks could be avoided 😅

I would also like to add: there should be consistent display of execution statuses. In Connectors, we don’t see that a job is in progress. We can only see Success or Failure or Aborted, but it doesn’t show that a job is running (unless you go to activities from which you can’t abort anyway).

It should.

Adding other places I can think of:
Survey: 
(No created By/On, Modified by, and the “Modified on” co-exists with the “Responded Date” under “Date”)

Data Designer:
(Modified by/on are called Last Modified By and Last Modified Date respectively)

Adding another place:
In Data Management, after selecting an object, all four fields are missing: Created byCreated OnModified by, Modified On

+1 yes please! This is so important for us admins to help keep track of changes and when things were last updated in Gainsight.

On a related note, having Created On would be a FANTASTIC aid while we start converting our programs, rules, templates, etc. to the new Horizon experience.

Having to use folders is awkward, and the “Model Name” field isn’t future-proof.

Labels (as long as they’re editable after publishing) would be helpful, but not what we’re looking for here.
