Suppose you are viewing an assignment with an effective start date of 01-JAN-1987 and no effective end date. This means that the assignment was created or last changed on 1 January 1987, and the snapshot information you are viewing is still valid. There have been no changes to the assignment since 1 January 1987, and there are no future dated changes.

To find out whether the assignment existed before 1 January 1987, you should use DateTrack History.

If there is an effective end date, you know that the record was either deleted or changed on the next day. To find out whether the record continues to exist, you can set your effective date to the day after this end date, or use DateTrack History.

Viewing the History of Datetracked Information

To view DateTrack History:

1. Choose the DateTrack History icon from the Toolbar.

The DateTrack History Change Field Summary window opens. Each row shows which fields were changed on the From date.

2. Choose the Full History button if you want to open a DateTrack History folder showing the value of each field between the effective dates. The row for the current snapshot (corresponding to your effective date) is highlighted.

You can use the Folder menu to select the fields to view in the folder.

Note: It is possible to customize the information displayed in the Folder by modifying the DateTrack History view for the underlying table.
