Unless you mean that it was placement on probation as a pre-trial matter, then is should enter as a dismissal.

Re: plea gulty without a find probation 1yr

I think you meant to say that your disposition was "continued without a finding" for one year, not "guilty without a finding." (There is no such thing as "guilty without a finding.") If you finish your probation without any further difficulties, your record will reflect (1) that the disposition was "continued without a finding" as of the date that this plea agreement happened in the court, and (2) that the case was "dismissed" as of the date one year later, (that is, at the end of the year's probation). You record will not say that you were found "guilty."

I think that what you are asking is what will your criminal history look like after one year if you plead Guilty but get a CWOF (Continued Without a Finding). If so, it will reflect exactly that: Your charge, then CWOF and one year later it will say DISM (Dismissed). This assumes that you complete your year probation without incident and your charge is dismissed. If you violate probation, it could be much different.
