> ### Viewing report history

> Once a report instance has run, you can view summary information about it. Fathom displays the following information for each completed report instance:

> - The report name.
> - The start time (when the report began running).
> - The end time (when the report finished running).
> - The exit code.

> A report's exit code indicates whether or not the process succeeded. Typically, an exit code of zero indicates success, while a nonzero code indicates an error. For more information on nonzero exit codes, search the log file. If a report running on Windows returns a positive, nonzero code, use the `net helpmsg` command for information.

> To view a report's history:

> 1. If the report's Summary page is not displayed, choose the report from the Defined Reports section of the list frame. The Summary page appears.
> 2. Click View Report History. The Report History page appears.
> 3. In the Report History query section, select the period of time.
> 4. Click Submit. The report's history appears on the bottom of the Report History page:

> Note: The steps above show you how to access the history of a single report. For the history of all reports run, click View Report History from the Fathom Reports page (shown in Figure 1–1). Continue from Step 3 above. The query returns results for any reports run during the date range.

> To remove a report's history, follow the steps above. After submitting the query dates, click Purge Selection. Once you purge a selection, you can no longer access the report's history for that time frame.
