View PreferencesShow LogsNew Window

Logs of Orders and Tasks can be viewed for example from the JS7 - Order History, chapter: Order Log View, JS7 - Task History, chapter: Task Log View etc. Users have a choice of how to view logs:

  • New Tab: a new browser tab is opened in the browser when displaying log output.
  • Download: log output is downloaded for viewing with a text editor on the user's client device. Which text editor is used is decided by the associated mime type text/plain or by browser settings. This option is preferably used for a larger log output, for example > 10MB, which will take more time to render in a browser window or browser tab than to be displayed using a local text editor.

Note that any views displaying log output offer a download option for the output, using the  download icon, independent of this setting.

Spacing between horizontal instructions 100%

Specifies the spacing between horizontal Workflow instructions.


Round Edges for Connections true
