History view
The History view on the information
page provides information on the history of the events associated with a folder, document, or custom object. You can select specific events that you want to track, and you can search for specific events by date, by user, or by the success or failure of the event. When you first access the history view, you must set criteria, and then start the history event search to display the events for an object.
NOTE Your system administrator must enable audit logging for specific classes for the history events to be tracked. If logging is not enabled or if there are no events for the object, "History Events are not available" is displayed instead of the history criteria and results.

- History events
- The events for the object are displayed after you set the criteria and click Search.
- Show / Hide criteria
- Click Hide Criteria to display only the history results. Click Show Criteria to display the criteria again. You can also set the User Preference for Criteria for Search and History results to always show or hide the criteria when you first access the History view.
