Configure Change History Preferences

You control change history settings across the organization. Because there are potentially many events, you can filter events using various criteria, such as by user, object type, or date.

1. Select Administration > Global Preferences > Change History.
2. Select an Instance Type.

   This feature is available on Staging and Production instances.

   You can directly enable change tracking on a Production instance, but your settings are overwritten the next time you replicate global preferences to Production. You can also indirectly enable change tracking on a Production instance by configuring your settings on a Staging instance and then replicating your settings to Production. On the Staging instance, select Production as your instance type to ensure that the settings are copied to the Production instance during replication.

3. Select Enable Change History.
   Note: The total count of change history events can differ from the sum of usage counts due to events belonging to more than one module.
4. Enter a value for the Cleanup Recorded History field between and 1 and 7 days.
   The Cleanup Recorded History field represents the number of days history changes are retained for viewing before being discarded.
5. Select the Business Manager modules you want to audit.
