  • Start, end, and elapsed time (to 1/10,000 of a second)
  • Operation that fires the active link
  • Execution order
  • Form applied to
  • Linked to which field (if applicable)
  • Mode (for example, Query, Modify, Submit)
  • User's name
  • Qualification and if it passes or fails
  • Actions generated:
    • Action number
    • Type (for example, Set Fields, Set Characteristics, Push Fields)
    • Name, new characteristics, and value of affected fields, if applicable.

API log

The API log traces all API calls run on the server, regardless of their origin.

SQL log

The SQL log is similar to the filter log, but the SQL log file consists of a series of SQL commands (one per line), each of which contains the information listed in the Log entry format.
