You can view change events, such as create, update, delete, merge, unmerge, and restore along with relationship updates, in the history of records. You can filter the history feed and group it by day, month, or year.
If you suspect that the data in a record has changed inappropriately, you can identify the event that caused the data change.
Note: This functionality will be rolled out in phases as post-deployment tasks are completed for all organizations. Informatica is currently establishing a schedule to roll out the functionality. If you require it on a priority basis, contact Informatica Global Customer Support.
