Overview

Process Logging creates a CSV record of AutomationDock process execution. The log can be used to review completed steps, investigate errors, and verify when and how individual actions were executed.

You can configure:

• where log files are stored;

• which execution events are recorded;

• which process and action details are included.

Opening Process Logging Settings

1. Open the AutomationDock tab in Excel.

2. Open Settings & Options.

3. Select Process Logging.
   
   

The Process Logging configuration window opens.

Selecting the Log Folder

Enter or select the folder in which AutomationDock should save the generated CSV log files.

Make sure that:

• the folder exists;

• the executing user has permission to write to it;

• the folder will remain available during process execution.

For unattended processes, use a location that is accessible to the robot account.

Selecting the Log Mode

Choose how AutomationDock should handle process logging.

Log Steps with Data

Records process execution together with the selected action details.

Use this mode when process runs should be traceable or available for troubleshooting.

Log Nothing

Disables process logging.

Use this option only when no execution record is required.

Selecting the Log Level

Log Levels determine which types of execution events are included.

Depending on the process design, a completed process may still contain warnings. Review the process status and selected logging options when investigating such a run.

For troubleshooting and initial testing, Select All provides the most complete information. A more limited log level can be used once the process is stable.

Selecting Action Data to Log

The Action Data to Log section determines which details are included for each logged step.

Select Select All to include every available field, or choose only the information required.

Available fields include:

Including more fields provides better troubleshooting information but may also increase the size and sensitivity of the log.

Action parameters and results may contain business or personal data. Select only the fields required for monitoring and troubleshooting.

Saving the Configuration

After selecting the folder, log mode, log level, and required action data, save the configuration.

Run a short test process and verify that:

• a CSV log is created in the selected folder;

• the expected process steps are included;

• the selected action fields contain the required information.

After a process run is completed, open the configured folder to access its log file.
