Fivetran Inc. has introduced History Mode, a feature that enables data analysts to analyze historical data in just a few clicks by turning on the feature for specific tables. The Type 2 Slowly Changing Dimensions (Type 2 SCD) approach adds a new timestamped row for every change made to a column. Fivetran customers have found various use cases for History Mode, including retaining history of systems of record, tracking account growth over time, understanding the history of bookings and cancellations, analyzing the impact of subscription changes, and tracking customer success, alliances, and other employee influence on revenue. The company offers resources to learn more about History Mode and a free 14-day trial for users to sync their Salesforce data and enable the feature.
