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.
