What is History?

History records all modifications made to form data by members within one specific group. It's commonly used for:

  • Product management systems: When members modify product information, you can use History to view modification details and ensure product data consistency.

  • Anonymous surveys/evaluations: You can disable History to hide modification records, protect privacy data, and improve the authenticity of surveys/evaluations.


What does It Look like?

For data created, edited, or deleted through the following methods before our current update, the Automation and parent/child workflow names in the operation path will appear empty:

  • Automation creation, edition, deletion

  • Parent workflow creation

  • child workflow edition

Note:

The names in operation paths are displayed statically, meaning they show the names of Automation and parent/child workflows at the time of creation/edition/deletion. Subsequent name changes or deletions won't affect the displayed names in the operation path.
