Abstract

A method for maintaining a 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 documentation of selected activities is desired. Next, a list of one or more types of activity is generated and utilized to filter all activities which take place with respect to a particular resource object. Thereafter, documentation of each activity which corresponds to an entry on the list of activities of interest is recorded within the selective document history log. In this manner it is possible to accurately record only those activities of interest such that memory space is more efficiently utilized within the document history log. The system administrator or other manager may limit the authority of a user to establish a document history log.
