Views

This menu item provides a submenu that lists all the available views of the history extension manager.

Actions->Update History Id

This menu item provides a way to refresh the History Id after a rename. It applies the formatting property (as designated by the enclosing % signs) of the Name Format field to the Id of the History Config Id. For example, if the History Name property under a history extension is set to %parent.name%, then the History Config Id is initially named based on this parent display name. However, if you rename the parent component, the History Config Id property does not automatically or immediately change. The Update History Id action invokes a renaming of the History Config Id based on the formatting property, so if the parent component (in this example case) is changed, the the Update History Id action changes the Id property and, if different from the history name, it results in a change in the history name as well. See About history names for more information about history naming.
