History sets in ServiceNow identify which particular records from an audited table contain historical information. History set records only contain a recent subset of historical information (within the past 30 days of inactivity). The following fields will be visible to you in list view for history sets:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| ID | An identifier for the record whose history is being recorded |
| Table | The audited table for the record whose history is being recorded |
| Load Time | The amount of time it took to generate the history set |
An Include history set option is available in both the bulk share form. Checking this option will share the history set data indicated in the table above for your selected table that you are bulk sharing.
For more information about ServiceNow history sets, see history sets and differences between audit and history sets.
NOTE: With DataSync Agent, this option will create a sys_history_xxx table on the target database.
