This is an old version of the article. Please check the actual version in our new Knowledge Base.

History is available in both Classic and Smart Projects. It help you keep track of what has happened with the Project while you were away.

Go to  Configuration > General Configuration > Settings > History.

Configuration

There are three areas for which the history is captured: Clients, Vendors, Projects or Quotes. Select the ones which are critical to your operations and that need to be monitored. Bear in mind that the gathering of such background data may slow down the system a little bit. Also, the history is stored for a maximum of one year, but you may decide for monthly cleanups.

All history entries can be removed by just a mouse click on Purge History button, so be careful who has access to this area of the system.
