Abstract
A method for maintaining a time frame selective document history log within a data processing system having multiple resource objects which are accessible by a plurality of users within the data processing system. A history log is created and associated with each resource object for which a document history log is desired. Next, a selected date-time frame of interest is specified and utilized to filter all activities which take place with respect to a particular resource object. Thereafter, only those activities which take place within the selected date-time frame of interest are recorded within the document history log. In one embodiment of the present invention a user may further specify that only selected activities which occur within the date-time frame of interest shall be recorded. In this manner it is possible to accurately record only selected activities during a prespecified date-time frame such that memory space within the system is more efficiently utilized within the document history log.
