Working with the log

The log will show you different kinds of informations as mentioned above in Nr. 1

Unfolding messages
Some errors can be unfolded/opened to get detailed information. To unfold an error, click on the little arrow on the right.

Links
Some errors contain links that are underlined. Links can be clicked and will take you to specific locations in your setup. For example: The image below shows 1 error message unfolded with 3 links:

• The first link „Primary Setup“ will take you directly to the editor and select the setup for you.
• The second link „Datasource entry“ will take you also to the editor, will select the setup for you and will scroll to the datasource entry element inside of that setup
• The third link only appears if you’re using a Microsoft® Excel® file as datasource – it will open the datasource in Microsoft® Excel® and select the cell for you where data is missing.

Hint: If you have to work through a whole list of errors, it’s recommended to have the log as standalone window (check „Options“ above)
