Using History

Checkpoint's History screen stores research sessions for up to 14 days. (14 days do not have to be consecutive.) There is no limit on the number of searches or documents in a session history. Checkpoint automatically logs the session information and the research event, such as running a search or retrieving a document.

Note: Hovering your mouse pointer over History in the top toolbar displays a menu that shows a list of recent documents and a list of recent searches and tools documented on the History screen. You can click any of the links to open a document, search, or tool. If you click the View All History link at the bottom of the menu, you are taken directly to the History screen.

To view History information:

1. On the top toolbar, click History.

   The History screen appears, displaying the current day's activities.

2. On the left navigation bar, select the date range for which you want to see history.

3. In the Items per page drop-down list, choose how many items to view on a page.

   The default is 50 items. Select other numbers from the Items per page drop-down list. If more than one page of items is returned, History adds page number boxes at the top of the screen.

4. Use the > icon to advance to the next page, or the >> icon to advance to the last page. Use the < icon to return to the previous page, or the << icon to return to the first page. You can also select a specific page box.
5. Click a document in the list to view its complete text.

Note: If you do not want to store your searches and viewed documents in the History tables, clear the History option under General Settings on the Options screen.

To work with History information:

• Narrow the display to only documents, searches, or tools by selecting the appropriate check box on the left navigation bar.
• Use the document tools to manage an open document.
• Click a magnifying glass icon to re-execute the search and view results.
• Click the Save icon to save a search to a folder.
• Click a tool, such as a Calculator, to re-execute the function and show results.
