Server.warn("This is a persistant warning", "enter a long description here");
Server.error("This is a persistant error", "enter a long description here");
Non-Persistent Logging

System.log("This is a non-persistant log message");
System.warn("This is a non-persistant log warning");
System.error("This is a non-persistant log error");

Return All Workflows Run by the Current User

belong to the current user. You can use this scripting with Webview components.
var allTokens = Server.findAllForType('WorkflowToken');
var currentUser = Server.getCredential().username;
var res = [];
for(var i = 0; i<res.length; i++){
if(allTokens[i].runningUserName == currentUser){
res.push(allTokens[i]);
}
}
return res;
