What does the YOUR HISTORY "NOT" track?

[Michael92]

According to study materials and servicenow docs YOUR HISTORY should not track UI pages but will display forms, records and Homepages.

However when I tested this YOUR HISTORY did track the UI pages.

But NOT the homepages.

Is this a fault in the studybook and servicenow docs??

Homepages (like most of the 'Overview' modules) are not tracked.

Dashboards are tracked.

UI pages are not tracked (although the back-end view of a UI page record is tracked).

So, to answer your question, the docs are not 100% correct.

Please mark this response correct if I've answered your question.  Thanks!

On a UI Page, you can add history and a handy title bar / back nav by adding the following to your page.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">
    <!-- Adds history -->
    <g:inline template="navigation_history_event.xml" history_type="page" history_description="far and away" history_title="Shorter Title"/>
    <!-- Adds Nav title -->
    <g:inline template="page_header.xml" title="My Really Long Page Title That Doesn't Fit History" /> 
    <!-- more of your content here -->
</j:jelly>

I would also like to shamelessly plug my "Embedded Content App" over on share that allowed me to figure this out.  It appears that there is a non-jelly way to make a history entry too which you can find in the report_history_event.xml macro in the app.
