Work with the History
Review current record activity in the current database and see who changed what and when.
View and filter the History
The History shows recent changes across all records in tables where the History option is enabled in the table settings. Here you can see who changed what and when.
At the top of the History, you can narrow down the list by filtering by date or user. This helps you focus on a specific period or the changes made by a particular person.
The list is sorted by the most recent activity. Entries are grouped by day and user, making it easier to review activity at a glance. Each entry shows the record name, record ID, action, and the exact time of the change.
Below the first line, Ninox displays the field values that were captured for that event:
- For newly created records, all fields that were filled in when the record was created are displayed.
- For updated records, only the fields changed in that update are displayed.
- Deleted records are listed for reference.
The details displayed depend on the fields of the record type and the specific change.
Click the center of the first line of an entry to open the form view on the right.
The form view gives you the full context of the selected record without leaving the History. You can review the current data, make changes, and switch between tabs such as Record, Attachments, and History if you need more details.
❗ Important
In general, only actual changes are shown in the History. If a field is updated with the same value that is already stored in that field, it is not considered a change, and this action does not appear in the History.
Nevertheless, you may occasionally see entries indicating that a field was updated with the same value.
This happens because scripts running on the server can update the same field multiple times. If a script changes a field value and later resets it to its original value, both operations are considered real updates within the script.
But the History only shows the final (last) value for the affected field.This behavior applies to scripts in triggers and to scripts or parts of scripts in buttons that are executed within a do as server block.
Clear History entries
Users with the Admin role can delete some or all History entries while Edit mode is enabled in order to save storage space.
Once edit mode has been enabled, a gear icon appears on the left with the Clear history menu. Click it to select the Time range you want to delete.
