History logs apply to AutoAlerts only.
History entries do not carry over from the original alert to the copy. However, Ovid displays the name of the original alert in the create event of the copy.
Ovid opens the AutoAlert History page where it keeps a log of actions (event types) for the AutoAlert you selected, including the name of the database of origin and a date-and-time log of AutoAlert activities.
Saved Set Results links display in an AutoAlert's history. These can be used to view the result of the alert that was delivered on that date. Clicking this link erases the search history of your current session and switches to the database in which the alert was created.
