Track Field History - how can i view it?

How do I view the log of field changes when using Track Field History.

 

I have turned on Track Field History on my Custom Object.  I have selected what columns/fields I woud like to track.

 

I looked at this thread http://community.salesforce.com/t5/Visualforce-Development/How-to-Find-History-Tracking-or-Audit-Log/td-p/132600  on  how to add a related list to a page layout to view the history..  However when I go to edit my page layout there is not related list of field history?

 

Is the only way I can view field history by creating a report? I was really hoping this information would be available from the built in page layout that VF provides.  Or is this just a bug in Spring 10  that History tracking is not showing in the page layout.

This is standard. Just add the related list in your page layout. It is usually named <Custom object name> History.

 

Hope this helps you.

The problem is the related list is not showing up when I edit the page layout so I cannot add it.

I am having the same problem.  I am tracking the changes on a field, but the related list does not appear on the layout when I edit that page.

I was having this problem too. I'd go into edit page layout and I'd expect to find a related list item called "History".  But that's not what the related list is actually called.  Instead, it's called <Object Name> History.  The way Salesforce page layout editing interface displays the related list names, it can partially obscure the full name of the related list by right truncating the name. Thus "MemberCare-HR History" was displayed as "MemberCare-HR His..."  Since I was looking for something that said simply "History", I simply missed it for a while.

You need to ensure that object Histroy Tracking feature is checked User-added image

Then you will see the Related List in the layout

Make sure you add the Related List, typically called "<<Object>> History", as in Account History or Contact History to the Record Type "Page Layout" in the Object Settings prior to trying to update the "Lightning Record Page" Layout.
