How to: Add Attributes to a Change Tracking Group (Master Data Services)
In Master Data Services, add attributes to a change tracking group when you want to track changes to the attribute's values.
Note
After you add an attribute to a change tracking group, when values for the attribute change, the attribute is flagged as changed in the Master Data Services database. Create a business rule to take action based on the change.
