glide.ui.record.level.history System Property

[James Michaels1]

This system property, glide.ui.record.level.history, has a description stating 'Maintain a history of records visited by each user' with a value set to true. I couldn't find anything in the Wiki, Community, or my instance saying where that history is kept. Is that a reference to the regular auditing of changed fields or is this something else?

Hello James, did you manage to find out where these historic logs are kept? I've just noticed that setting myself.

Cheers

I haven't found it yet, unfortunately.

I ended up posting this question through HI and got the below response back. I checked sys_user_preference but didn't see anything so it sounds like this is maybe leftover from an old feature.

This is a very old property (last updated in 2006!), so I'm not sure it's even being used anymore. Indeed, I couldn't find anything about it in past incidents or KB articles, and it is not even listed in the Available System Properties wiki!

That said, I was able to find a reference in the system that this information should be in the 'sys_user_preference' table. Even so, it doesn't look like the information is stored in there more than a month (at most) due to the amount of disk space this would take up.
