Log information for workflows

All events that occur during workflow execution are displayed in a log window. The log statements help you to debug your application by displaying the following information:

• The event label (Start and End), event name, field (Button/Menu) on which the event occurred, form name, view name, and time stamp. For example: 

  EVENT Start:Button/Menu Field |  Button(536870913)  | ALEventForm/Default Administrator View Tue Sep 4 2012 6:18:58 PM
          ActiveLink Start:- ALEventForm _AL1 | ALEventForm /Default Administrator View - Tue Sep 4 2012 6:18:58 PM ms 19      ...
          ActiveLink - End : ALEventForm _AL1 | ALEventForm /Default Administrator View - Tue Sep 4 2012 6:18:59 PM ms 488
  EVENT End:Button/Menu Field |  Button(536870913)   Tue Sep 4 2012 6:18:59 PM
  

• Meaningful descriptions for all active link functions. For example:
