View an Account's History

The History tab on the user account’s page displays a list of all actions that have been performed on the account record. Actions completed by the user in the rest of the application are not recorded on the user account's page History tab, but on the Activity tab. The History grid cannot be exported as it contains multiple data types.

The columns in the History grid help to categorize the different types of data summarized in this chart:

  • User: identifies the user who performed the action.
  • Action: describes the type of task that occurred.
  • Changes: shows the field values that were changed in the action, detailing the original value (“from” in History row) and the value following the change (“To”).
  • Time: the date and time when the action occurred.
