When working with record history, you can perform the following tasks:
•Viewing General History Information
•Creating Record History Entries
History records reflect chronology or history of the record to which they are related. Every history record is related to a parent record - there are no standalone history records. History entries may contain such information as payments made by involved parties, and automated assignments. History records of a project may register such things as when the main assignees were changed and the dates when a lawsuit was filed. History records may be referred to as docketing or calendaring, narratives, logs, diaries, notes, or journals.
History records can be generated automatically or created manually. One of the more common uses of manual history records is to enter narratives associated with legal matters. For history entries that track changes made to a parent record, automated rules typically generate the appropriate history entries automatically when certain events occur in the parent record.
Most records have their own History link where you can create, search for, view, and delete all necessary history entries pertaining to the record. The History page behaves like a regular collection, and has a button that allows you to add new manual history entries.
From the History page on a record, change the View for the page.
