. The history file for a User Controlled Attribute captures information about when it was added, changed, or deleted. The file includes the date and time of the change, user details identifying who did the change, the dimension the attribute belongs to, and all related properties captured about the change from the User Controlled Attribute Maintenance window. To see a history file, follow these steps.

Here’s a portion of a history file showing a recent change impacting an attribute for the Customer Ship-To dimension. The Update Type tells you the attribute was changed. The Property, Old Value, and New Value columns indicate what property changed and what the property was set to before and after the change. This change was an edit to the name of the attribute and to the names of the hierarchy and level based on that attribute. A newly added attribute doesn’t have any information listed in the Old Value column, as you can see in the “Add” rows that are in the file.
