I created a custom object and set history tracking on one of the fields for the object, I added the history to the page layout for the object. For any particular record for that object I can now see when that field changes. I now want to be able to report on when the field changes. I cannot find a history report for the custom object and I cannot create a report type that shows the history records for the object. Is there a way to do this?

If you create an object with both
Allow Reports
andTrack Field History
checked and track at least one field then a report type called[Object Name] Field History
should be automatically generated in theOther Reports
folder.You cannot create custom Report Types that use the
[Object Name] Field History
object unfortunately.It should also be noted that reporting on field history tracking of a custom object is not available if the object is a detail of a Master-Detail Relationship. This is covered in this Knowledge Article (#000003727).
