Page History Page and Command

installs a command object called AEFPageHistoryToolbar that represents the Page History menu command. Page History is a list of visited pages and is different from the History page (which lists actions performed on an object).

This command is assigned to the Tools menu, which is assigned to the My Tools menu, which is assigned to the AEFGlobalToolbar menu. The Page History command calls emxPageHistory.jsp, which lists the last 50 pages the user has visited since the user logged in. The number of pages stored by the page is configurable using the emxSystem.pageHistory.limit=50 property in emxSystem.properties. In addition, the emxFramework.History.maxRecords=2000 property defines how many pages will be retained for all users. Users can use the page to revisit the pages, bookmark them, and copy and paste the URLs for the pages into emails to invite other users to visit the pages. The page displays in a non-modal popup window.

For information about how to use the page, click the Help button on the page in the application.
