The Message Area Pane

The Messages area is used in Debug mode to indicate the status of your PlanetPress Workflow process as the sample data file is processed and used to generate output. When your PlanetPress Workflow runs in Debug mode, the Messages area displays useful processing and error information.

Messages are displayed in different colors (debug levels) in the Message area.

• Messages in Red are critical and are normally critical errors in the plugin.
• Messages in Orange are warnings.
• Messages in Gray are job info and variable changes.
• Messages in Black are debug information and processing information.

There are various actions you can execute in the Message area. Here they are:

• Click any line to select it.
• While a line is selected, press Delete on your keyboard or right-click on the line and select Delete to delete the line.
• While a line is selected, press CTRL+X on your keyboard or right-click on the line and select Cut to place the line in the clipboard.
• Press CTRL+C on your keyboard or right-click on the line and select Copy to place a copy of the line in the clipboard.
• Press CTRL+A on your keyboard or right-click on any line and select Select All to select all the lines in the Message Area.
• Right-click anywhere in the Message Area and select Clear Messages to clear the contents of the Message Area.
• Right-click anywhere in the Message Area and select Save to File to display a dialog box that lets you save a copy of the Message Area content to a text file.

The Message Area will only display information while running in Debug mode. It does not display information from other running services, and will not display the log of any process running in a live configuration (submitted to PlanetPress Workflow Service).
