Event Log


The Event Log at the bottom of the Inventory Manager main window displays error and informational messages about Inventory Manager system operations. The log displays the most recent 10,000 entries. The current log file is automatically archived when its size reaches 5 megabytes and a new log file is opened. Use the Event Logs view in the Suite-Wide Options window to configure the number of event logs to save and the number of entries to display in the table. You must be assigned the appropriate user capability to view the Event Log.
