The events available for searching and display in History view on the Information page depend on the type of object selected and the Audit Logging settings for the object class. Your site administrator determines which events are logged for each class. Events are triggered as objects are created, revised, viewed, moved, or deleted. Events can be triggered by users or by other applications.
