Tracking History

Hi All,

 

Just a quick question. If I set a history tracker for one of the field now, will the history of that field prior the date I enabled showup in the history?

 

Thanks

Abhishek

Nope. 

 

Quoting the documentation :

 

"When you choose the fields you want to track, Salesforce begins tracking history from that date and time forward. Changes made before that date and time are not included. Note that some case, solution, and contract fields are preselected for history tracking, so changes to those fields are automatically tracked from the time your organization began using Salesforce."

History data only be recorded when you enable the tracking function.
If you disable it, nothing history data will be deleted, just be hidden, but nothing new changes will be recorded.
