Logs

BOS creates logs outputs on almost every action.

The logs can be accessed activating the 'Logs' menu' button.

 

The logs window has two parts:

  1. Logs list - A list of all the logs in the system.
    The list order is: newest on top. Double clicking a log-line opens the selected log with MS-Notepad.
  2. Log details - Selected log's content.

All logs are kept on the system according to the 'Days to keep history' filed on the 'Options' menu.

You can selectively delete logs from the list except the last log (see next paragraph).
