Contents of the Log Viewer

Use the fields and options to configure the Log Viewer.

Tabs

There is one tab for each log file that is open.

You can close a tab by clicking the X on the right side of the tab. If you close a tab and close and reopen the Log Viewer, the tab that you closed displays again.

You can drag and drop the tabs to rearrange their order. The order will remain even if you close and reopen the Log Viewer but will revert to the original order when you log out of and back into Open Plan.

When you open a previously saved log file, the tab created for the opened log file displays the log file’s name and displays until you log out of and back into Open Plan.

Log Files

The table below lists the log files that are automatically included in the Log Viewer if they are created during the current Open Plan session.

The log files always display the latest data. For example, if you run time analysis on more than one project during your Open Plan session, the log file tab displays information about the last project on which you ran the procedure.

If multiple instances of Open Plan are running, a user number is appended to the log file. For example, you may have OPP_TA.log and OPP_TA_user1.log in the same folder created by two running instances of Open Plan.
