Silent Setting Change

Someone changed a setting and nobody noticed.

A tolerance loosened, an approval limit raised, a detector switched off — one quiet change can undo every control behind it. Otiox's Model Studio records every change to engine, inventory and approval settings field by field, lets you add the reason, and can require a second person to approve rule and matching changes before they apply.

Changes apply after someone else approves.

Every control change has an owner and a reason.

01The Challenge

The control was there. Then someone turned it off.

Approval thresholds and matching tolerances are changed in a settings screen with no reason asked and no trace kept. When the audit asks who changed it and why, there is no answer.

How It Works

Purpose-built features that solve these exact problems.
01

Settings history

Every change to engine, inventory, auto-assembly and approval settings, field by field.
02

Reasons

Add the reason afterwards; it is kept with the change.
03

Second approver

When on, rule and matching changes are proposed, approved by someone else — never the author — then activated.
04

Versions

Each activation is a new model version; decisions and predictions record the version in force.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions.
01Which settings are tracked?
Integrity and predictive engine settings, detector thresholds, inventory, auto-assembly, approval rules and matching tolerances — from the day recording was turned on.
02Can the author approve their own change?
No. Approval must come from someone else.
03Who can propose or approve?
Team permissions: Model changes — propose, and Model changes — approve.
04Is anything recorded before it was turned on?
No; the page says earlier changes were not kept anywhere.
