Property	Value	Description
Name	text	Identifies the history.
Type	drop-down list (defaults to Boolean Writable)	Identifies the type of BACnet object, for example, Analog Input, Analog Output, Calendar, Schedule, Structured View, File, Trend Log, BooleanWritable or other. Writable components typically offer more type selections than read-only points, such as: Two read-only: input or value type, e.g. Binary Input or Binary Value object. Two writable: output or prioritized value type, e.g. Binary Output or Binary Value Prioritized object. The screen capture shows an example of type selections when exporting an NdioBooleanWritable point.
Object ID	Object Id and Instance Number	Identifies each device and component by the type of entity (`Object Id`) combined with a unique `Instance Number`. For devices (controllers, instruments, meters, etc.), `Instance Number` must be unique within the BACnet internetwork. For components (points, schedules, analog inputs, files, groups, multi state inputs, etc.), it must be unique within the device. In this case, the object is a schedule.
Execution Time	additional properties	Configures the frequency with which data are imported from a remote trend log (or trend log multiple) into a history (or histories). Data import may occur at regular intervals (`Interval`), `Daily` or when manually requested (`Manual`). `Time Of Day` specifies a specific daily time. `Randomization` configures an import based on time. `Days Of Week` specifies on which days to apply the import time.
Enabled	`true` (default) or `false`	Activates (`true`) and deactivates (`false`) use of the object (network, device, point, component, table, schedule, descriptor, etc.).
Capacity	drop-down list (defaults to Unlimited)	Specifies the number of trend log records (histories) to store in the histories database. When capacity is reached, newer records overwrite the oldest records.
Full Policy	drop-down list	Specifies what happens when a trend log (history) reaches capacity. Applies only if `Capacity` is set to `Record Count`. When capacity reaches record count, the newest records overwrite the oldest records. `Roll` ensures that the latest data are recorded. `Stop` terminates recording when the number of stored records reaches capacity. Full policy has no effect if `Capacity` is `Unlimited`.
Time Zone	drop-down list	Sets up the time zone using the Set System Date/Time, which you access either using a platform connection and Platform Administration > Change Date/Time or using one of the station’s PlatformServices views (Platform Service Container plugin or System Date and Time Editor). Otherwise, the time zone is displayed for information only.
Local History Name Format	BFormat	Identifies the local history file.
Discovery History Type	read-only
Always Request By Reference Time	`true` or `false` (default)	Configures if the driver should always use the `Reference Time` to request records.
