3.5 LOGS
3.5.1 INTRODUCTION
The logs section of the Database Explorer allows the user to
browse for a log of any event for which a log has been created
and then to use the free text search engine or Keyword Grids to
filter the data to provide required results.
Folders can be created in the Logs area of the explorer tree to
enhance the database structure and make the collation and
search of data easier.
3.5.2 LOGS TREE STRUCTURE
The logs tree structure is created by making new directories to
store logs in. The logs tree is customised by the user, by adding
directories relevant to the Production.
Right-clicking the heading of the bin tree opens a contextual
menu that gives the choice of creating a new directory, deleting
the selected directory, publishing a directory or viewing its
properties
Right-clicking a log icon in the log tree opens a contextual menu
that gives access to the choices displayed in the screenshot
below:
The user can take advantage of the log directories by searching
all log sheets contained inside the directory. This allows for a
search across a range of log sheets instead of all sheets in the
system.
Note
If the user has selected a directory in the logs tree
structure, the system will disable the Automatic Refresh
option for that time being. This is to minimize wasteful
database query updates on the browser window.
