History Log

The history log function, which is available within the Enterprise Edition, allows you to carry out your analysis without interruption of having to save every item of work that you create.  Analysis items such as Selections, Cubes, Trees, Data Grids, Venns, Maps and Profiles can be added automatically to your history log each time they are run or when the Log History button is pressed.  This will allow you to record a thought process of your actions rather than just saving the final result as a saved item.
