The XML tag <Log> enables you to output the progress or status text to a log window. This can be useful for tracing the progress of a report for example. All field codes (e.g., #{Item.Name}, #{Item.SID}, #{Version}) and text will work. Even path queries should work with <Log>. See the SystemWeaver Script Language Reference guide in the Help for available field codes, etc.
Log Window Options
There are two options for the log window.
Within the same configuration view (Grid,Graph,Chart or Report) window:
Pull the log panel into view by dragging upward.
In a separate window using Ctrl+Shift+L:
Example Configuration

<Columns>
