Delete Permanently

When you delete a profile, you will not be able to recover the record or the data later. 

See a Profile's History

The History tab on the profile's page displays a list of all actions that have been performed on the profile record, for example adding or updating links to the profile. The History grid cannot be exported as it contains multiple data types. When a link to another record is deleted, the addition and deletion actions are greyed out in the History grid.

The Profile history tab. The grid contains rows for the following actions: updated profile, deleted link, and created link.

  • User: identifies the user who performed the action.
  • Action: describes the type of action that occurred.
  • Changes: shows the field values that were changed as a result of the action, detailing the original value (“from” in the History row) and the value following the change (“to”).
  • Reference: if the action was not performed on the profile itself, but on a linked case or another profile, this column provides more information on the case or profile where the action was completed.
  • Time: the date and time when the action occurred. 

View Record Source

You can use the "View Record Source" option to monitor or troubleshoot your application’s data migrations or integrations. "View Record Source" will pull up the "Record source detail" pop-up, so you can check the system fields' values when the profile was created. If the profile was created by an integration or data import, you will also see the "Source Job" field and "Source Data" section in this pop-up. The "Source Data" section will show the row in the data import file that the system used to create the profile. You can check out the integration log that the system recorded when it processed that data import file by clicking the link in the "Source Job" field.
