No easy way to determine whether an item has ever been reviewed?

Dear ya'll, is there no easy way to determine whether an item has ever been reviewed? Or how long ago the item has been reviewed? Try as I may, I'm unable to find such. Seem basic… no?

Same comment. Basic functionality is missing.

• Hello, the following steps should determine if an item was reviewed. Not sure if it qualifies as an easy way for you.

1. Set your item's Activities Widget to be active.
2. When viewing the single item in Center details panel, you should see the Activities Widget symbol on the right. It looks like a graph plot.
3. Click on the Activities Widget symbol, and a list of all things done against the item (including reviews) should appear.
4. Use search field entry to type in review number to search for evidence of whether a review was done and how long ago.

Thanks @Anthony C. , I followed your steps, and I can see how this might be useful one object at a time. I'm looking for a project-level filter or report that simply indicates, for all objects in the project, if the latest revision of each object has a review associated with it.

I think I can get there by enabling Workflows and reporting back the state of the associated Workflow field. So, we'll see.

Having a REST API into the Review Center would be very helpful and would allow a much more sophisticated report-out.

Hello

I use a context sensitive velocity report to extract the review information per item:
You find the report here:

Community-Reports/Review Center Reports/Review Details Per Item Context Based at master · jamasoftware-ps/Community-Reports · GitHub

I did some changes on the report to exclude the details about the reviewers/approvers (exclude the macros reviewItemApproversDataGroupCells() and reviewItemReviewersDataGroupCells() at the end of the report) and included the version of the items:

• In Macro itemDataGroupCells I included the field $doc.currentVersion.versionNumber (latest version of an item)
• In macro reviewItemDataGroupCells I included the field !revisionItem.getVersion().getVersionNumber() (version of the item in the review)

Best regards
