Designer Console and Logs v2

Running a Workflow from the designer causes the Workflow logs pane to appear. Log rows will be displayed as each step in the Workflow completes. You can also use the ... → Show recent logs option on a step to see logs for a specific step.

Log table

The log table includes these columns:

• Timestamp.
• Time elapsed.
• Result or execution state.
• Step name and Node icon, with nesting indentation.

Select a row to add its logged Parameter and Return names as columns. Select another row to change those dynamic columns. Use Arrow Up/Down, Home/End, and Enter or Space to navigate and select rows from the keyboard.

Running, completed, stopped, failed, stale, incomplete, and connection-loss states use different result indicators. Select a displayed error to open its details.

The table can also show a Workflow column, depending on the log view and invocation mode. It displays the Workflow name and runtime and Environment badges where those details are available. The Start Step's Parameters carry the activation Context.

Property values

Small text values appear in their table cell. Select a visually truncated or viewable structured value to open a read-only value dialog.

Binary and values above the viewable limit display a download action with captured and original size information when available. A download or full-value retrieval can fail independently of the Workflow execution.

(Not Logged) indicates Workflow Property redaction. An empty value, truncated preview, deferred counter, and failed full-value fetch are different states and should not be interpreted as equivalent.

Search, filter, and recent Step logs

The console search can highlight matches or filter the current rows. Starting another run or changing the Workflow/instance clears the current search.

Show recent logs on a Step card switches the Logs tab to the latest ten rows for that Step from the preceding seven days. Run mode returns to the current instance on the next Debug.

Parent, child, and global views

The row menu can open:

• The logged Workflow design.
• Logs for a called Sub-Workflow.
• The instance from its Start row.
• The instance with parent and child activity.

These actions open the global Workflow Logs screen in a new tab with identifiers and date bounds carried into the search.

A row without a Workflow identity does not offer a designer link. Its instance-level actions can still be available.

Polling interruption

When repeated fetch failures or no progress end polling, the console keeps existing rows visible under an overlay. Click Retry to reconnect or Cancel to end the local wait and allow another run.

Cancellation of polling does not change a Workflow that is still executing. Use the designer's Stop action to cancel the Workflow run.
